Whatever O/S Dean_Rotherham is using should go on the list.
I have seen the problem so many times that I use the quote syntax out of habit (whether or not it is necessary on some O/S). If you are dealing with filenames or other strings which contain space characters just use quotes.
I really am the wrong person to discuss POSIX because I live in the real world and have seen many "standards" come and go.
The quote you supply is wonderfully ambiguous though to my mind it describe all the effects I have seen from all the versions of "find .... -exec" .
