Details:

When find is passed multiple paths, it misreports the printf fields %H and
%P. Specifically, it splits the second path using the field length of the
first path.

Example:
623 $ mkdir dir1
624 $ mkdir directory2
625 $ touch dir1/foo
626 $ touch directory2/bar
627 $ find dir1 directory2 -printf '%H %P\n'
dir1 
dir1 foo
dire
dire ctory2/bar

oldfind gives the expected output:
628 $ oldfind dir1 directory2 -printf '%H %P\n'
dir1 
dir1 foo
directory2 
directory2 bar


My find is:
GNU find version 4.3.1
Features enabled: O_NOFOLLOW(enabled) LEAF_OPTIMISATION FTS CBO(level=0) 

My uname -a is:
