That's because the unquoted wildcard [ni]*.el does not match anything
when the startup code tries to expand it.  Such a wildcard is passed
unaltered to the `find's `main' function, which has the same effect as
if it were quoted.

Because *.el matches something.  Try running it from a directory that
doesn't have any .el files, like this:

   find /path/to/emacs/lisp -name *.el

and you will see the difference.

Again, this has nothing to do with the problem at hand.
