Why is it important to consider what the ISI WANTS to do? I do things I don't want to do all the time. Perhaps a better question is -- to what extent does Musharraf control the ISI? According to Newsweek, the ISI is making the right noises. Beyond that -- your guess is as good as mine.

It need not be pure guesswork - this report says the ISI was "apologetic" about the order to stop cross-border terrorism. That's a clear indication on how committed they are - no matter what they are reported to be claiming.
