GNU find 4.4.2 on linux works as expected:
Code:
$ find /tmp/*test* -user `whoami` -type f -exec ls -lrt '{}' \;
-rw-rw-r-- 1 lem lem 0 2012-09-02 10:53 /tmp/test1
-rw-rw-r-- 1 lem lem 0 2012-09-02 10:54 /tmp/test2
-rw-rw-r-- 1 lem lem 0 2012-09-02 10:53 /tmp/test3

Of course in the command above the ls "-rt" options are meaningless, since ls is run once for every file found. This below is good:

Code:
$ find /tmp/*test* -user `whoami` -type f -exec ls -lrt '{}' +
-rw-rw-r-- 1 lem lem 0 2012-09-02 10:53 /tmp/test3
-rw-rw-r-- 1 lem lem 0 2012-09-02 10:53 /tmp/test1
-rw-rw-r-- 1 lem lem 0 2012-09-02 10:54 /tmp/test2
