In findutils-4.2.2 of my fc4 box, "man find" contains following example:
...
find . -perm +022
find . -perm +g+w,o+w
find . -perm +g=w,o=w

All three of these commands do the same thing, but the first one uses the octal representation of the file mode, and the other two use the symbolic form. These commands all search for files which are write-able by either their owner or their group. The files don’t have to be writeable by both the owner and group to be matched; either will do.

find . -perm -022
find . -perm -g+w,o+w

Both these commands do the same thing; search for files which are writeable by both their owner and their group.
...
Both of these should refer to group and other, not the owner.
