Sorry for the noise, had misread 4.1.20 as 4.2.20.

This bug was fixed in findutils version 4.2.0. The current stable release of findutils is 4.2.23.

$ ~/source/GNU/findutils/installed/bin/find-4.2.0 . -print \)
/home/james/source/GNU/findutils/installed/bin/find-4.2.0: unexpected extra predicate
$ ~/source/GNU/findutils/installed/bin/find-4.2.0 . --version
GNU find version 4.2.0

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=185202 reported that a trailing ")" was sometimes not caught by find. The Changelog says this bug was fixed in March 2004, but it seems not to be the case:

$ find . \)
find: invalid expression
$ find . \(
find: invalid expression
$ find . -print \(
find: invalid expression
$ find . -print \)
...

This last one goes about as if nothing is wrong.

$ find --version
GNU find version 4.1.20
