Follow-up Comment #1, bug #65998 (group findutils):

Hello,

xargs is executing "echo" (since no command was given), which swallows/uses
the -e an -n options.

If you replace "xargs" with "xargs printf '%s\n' in your examples you will see
that xargs passes everything along to the command.

cu Andreas
