Eric, It's version 4.2.25. So, maybe this wouldn't occur in 4.3.x.
Considered more broadly, I guess my suggestion would be that 'find' should make a different (more urgent) sound if it has to abort its traversal than if it is merely skipping a directory because it can't enter. I will attempt to log a bug on this, per James's request.
