Those are details ... the problem is shell-quote-argument which
obviously has bugs on w32 for some types of shell. Someone who
understands the issue should fix this.
I have fixed find-dired and find-grep-dired to properly use
shell-quote-argument on all special arguments, i.e. ( ) {} and ;.
So once shell-quote-argument is fixed, find-dired commands should
be fixed too.

Can you propose a better doc string.
