The behaviour seems OK to me.

address@hidden -ls
address@hidden -fls
+Unusual characters are always escaped. White space, backslash, and
+double quote characters are printed using C-style escaping (for
+example @samp{\f}, @samp{\"}). Other unusual characters are printed
+using an octal escape. Printable characters (for @samp{-ls} and
address@hidden these are the characters between octal 040 and 0177) are
+printed as-is.
There are two problems in the last sentence. First, 0177 is not a
printable character; this is the DEL character and is displayed as
\177 by "find . -ls". Moreover you should probably add "after the
possible backslash" or say "*Other* printable characters".
Ditto concerning the man page.
