'{}' can only be used portable, if it is a separate argument.
Also refer to SUSv2 which says on this topic
-exec utility_name [argument..] ;
[..] A utility_name or argument containing only the two
characters {} will be replaced by the current pathname. If a
utility_name or argument string contains the two characters
{}, but not just the two characters {}, it is
implementation-dependent whether find replaces those two
characters with the current pathname or uses the string
without change.
