I have now updated http://www.gnu.org/software/findutils/manual/find.html and the pages it points to using the findutils source.

Actually not; the current source in thr git repo says this:

Execute command; true if zero status is returned. find takes all arguments after ‘-execdir’ to be part of the command until an argument consisting of ‘;’ is reached. It replaces the string ‘{}’ by the current file name being processed everywhere it occurs in the command. Both of these constructions need to be escaped (with a ‘\’) or quoted to protect them from expansion by the shell. The command is executed in the directory in which find was run.

However the online version does need to be updated.

This obviously applies to all the documentation - not just the file that the OP linked to.

http://www.gnu.org/software/findutils/manual/html_mono/find.html#Single-File :

— Action: -execdir command ;

    Execute command; true if zero status is returned. find takes all arguments after ‘-exec’

  Instead of -exec, it should have written -execdir.
