Sorry for confusion. My previous testing was completely wrong because I ran 
older version of findutils on Fedora. With the current git version it fails
on Fedora, too. It means something has been changed within findutils and/or 
gnulib in the meantime.

The attached incremental patch fixes it. Now it works on both Fedora and 
Debian. But unfortunately it does not work with the stable version (4.4.2)
of findutils. Could anybody point me to the relevant change in findutils
code? Thanks in advance!
