No response from submitter.  I think this is just an environment problem.  Hence closing as invalid.   If you do have some other comments to make, you can just add them to this bug again (I can reopen it).

It looks to me like your character set settings in your terminal emulator do not match the ones in your shell's environment.

Works for me with 4.2.28.

It will still fail if different encodings are used, i.e. if a file with a iso8859-1 encoded filenamed is searched with find under an unicode locale. See bug #16520

find -name option fails to correctly handle certain Unicode filenames.  For example:

$ find -name "*.txt" -print

will fail to recognize Lucía.txt

Sample command set reproducing problem
Linux version 2.6.15-23-server (buildd@rothera) (gcc version 4 .0.3 (Ubuntu 4.0.3-1ubuntu5)) #1 SMP Tue May 23 15:10:35 UTC 2006
find version 4.2.27

$mkdir t1131
$cd t1131
$ touch Lucía.txt
$ touch lucia.txt
$ find . -name "*.txt" -print
./lucia.txt
$ find . -print | grep -i "\.txt$"
./Lucía.txt
./lucia.txt

Sorry, did not check in later versions of findutils.
