I didn't think "find -exec basename {} \;" uses a shell. I thought
that it directly executes whatever follows exec, in this case
"basename", aka.
/bin/basename, a utility that exists for those cases where the
builtin is not required. Maybe I'm wrong about that???
If I'm right, I might instead investigate whether
your /bin/basename is somehow messed up; or maybe you're right that
it is that find is somehow not executing /bin/basename correctly.
