Then it seems that the program you call "find" is not strictly following the
POSIX
standard and your command line depends on unspecified behavior of a specific
find implementation.

It seems that you did not understand the problem:
find expands "{}" only if an argument is containing only the two characters
"{}".
echo allows you to check for the behavior of find.
