Follow-up Comment #1:

I had noticed the problem for a while, but did not realize it could trigger a
segfault.  The culprit is this patch in gnulib, documented in line 127 in the
diff (from July 2006):

http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/gnulib/lib/filemode.c?root=gnulib&r1=1.16&r2=1.17

I had a patch sitting around on my disk at one point; I'll dig it up and
submit it to the findutils-patches list.
