I'm not surprised about your tests that match my experience. That leave the question about what find version the open poster is using unanswered ...

I'm afraid your conclusion seems incorrect. After some research, I'm now convinced no known implementation of the find command need quotes. The idea they are required, even while documented in various web location, can't be but a urban legend.
In fact, using single or double quotes cannot have any effect on the find command given the fact the shell is removing them before passing the {} argument to the find command. Should you use a non standard shell that keep them, find behavior would be unspecified.

ESCAPESHELLARG(3) 1 ESCAPESHELLARG(3)
escapeshellarg - Escape a string to be used as a shell argument
SYNOPSIS
string escapeshellarg (string $arg)
DESCRIPTION
escapeshellarg(3) adds single quotes around a string and quotes/escapes any existing single quotes allowing you to pass a string directly
to a shell function and having it be treated as a single safe argument. This function should be used to escape individual arguments to
shell functions coming from user input. The shell functions include exec(3), system(3) and the backtick operator.
On Windows, escapeshellarg(3) instead removes percent signs, replaces double quotes with spaces and adds double quotes around the string.
PARAMETERS
o $arg
- The argument that will be escaped.
RETURN VALUES
The escaped string.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
escapeshellarg(3) example
<?php
system('ls '.escapeshellarg($dir));
?>
