And where did you get the port of GNU Find?

This output is wrong: it doesn't show the date after the month, only
the hour. "Jan 13:35" etc. is not a valid date-time format.
With the port of GNU Findutils I have, I don't see that problem.

With my find.exe, this error doesn't happen. I'm quite sure you see
the error message because of the invalid date format.

As you see, Emacs 23 instructed find.exe to invoke ls, instead of
using the built-in -ls option. Your ls.exe produces valid date
format, so the command works.

See above: you need to "fix" your Findutils. E.g., try this port:
