Follow-up Comment #1:

That sentence has recently been added to 'find.1', i.e., after the
release of v4.6.0; references:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1325049
  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-findutils/2016-04/msg00014.html
  https://git.sv.gnu.org/cgit/findutils.git/commit/?id=ae424b95

The problem is that it only applies to the '+' syntax, not to
the ';' syntax of the -exec/-execdir/-ok/-okdir family.

The attached patch fixes the documentation.

CC-ing Kamil who authored the first version of that commit which
only added that sentence to the description of '-exec ... +';
The misleading part for the -execdir predicate was added by me
in his name in the same commit, sigh.
