Yes, I'm working on fixing that; it has also been reported upstream, and
so far, it looks like an unintended side-effect of my patch that tried to
fix -execdir semantics. The problem is I haven't had enough spare time
lately. The upstream maintainer promised findutils-4.3.3 this month, so
hopefully I will get to it soon.

Correct.

As long as the upstream maintainer thinks that 4.3.x is unstable (ie.
probably until find 4.4 is released); not under my control.
