Details:

from my home directoy this works:
sudo -u www-data find /var/www/ -type d ! -perm -070
this does not:
sudo -u www-data find /var/www/ -type d ! -perm -070 -exec chmod 770 {} \;
failure message: find: pred.c:1932: launch: Assertion `starting_desc >= 0'
failed.

That same command works fine if I cd to / or /var/www.
