Details:
The change from oldfind to the fts algorithm broke -execdir {} +:

The command is being run in the parent directory rather than the directory
that provided the current set of {} argument expansions.
I'm not sure of the fix off hand, but it seems like leaving a directory is
the trigger to run the command on the collected arguments, but it triggers
after the working dir has already been changed. You either need to trigger
sooner, or temporarily revert the working directory back to where the
arguments were collected.
