Hi, may be this is not a bug, but seems strage to me, as if xargs parses first
word ('-e', '-n' from example) as it's own option...

$ echo '-e test1 -e test2' | xargs
test1 -e test2

$ echo '-n test1 -n test2' | xargs
test1 -n test2$

#There is no 'z' xargs option
$ echo '-z test1 -z test2' | xargs
-z test1 -z test2

$ echo '-e test1 -e test2' | xargs -I '{}' echo '{}'
-e test1 -e test2

Versions:
findutils-4.9.0-2.fc37.aarch64
bash-5.2.21-1.fc37.aarch64

$ find --version
find (GNU findutils) 4.9.0
....SKIP....

$ bash --version
GNU bash, version 5.2.21(1)-release (aarch64-redhat-linux-gnu)
....SKIP....
