Details:

The version I'm using ships with ubuntu xenial, but I also downloaded 4.6.0
and reproduced there:

```
$ find --version

Here's a toy testcase:

```
mkdir foo && cd foo
touch foo.{a,b,c}
# works, prints only `foo.c`
find -name '*.c'
# works, prints only `foo.c`
find -name '*.c' -print0 | xargs -0 -n1
# BUG: prints . foo.a foo.b and foo.c
find -print0 -name '*.c' | xargs -0 -n1
```

Output:

```
$ mkdir foo && cd foo
$ touch foo.{a,b,c}
$ # works, prints only `foo.c`
$ find -name '*.c'
./foo.c
$ # works, prints only `foo.c`
$ find -name '*.c' -print0 | xargs -0 -n1
./foo.c
$ # BUG: prints . foo.a foo.b and foo.c
$ find -print0 -name '*.c' | xargs -0 -n1
.
./foo.a
./foo.b
./foo.c
```
