I'm no find guru, but it indeed seems to be hitting yet-another-find-bug.
[ GNU find has been fairly buggy in my experience ]
On Solaris, it does the right thing.
It seems that mixing -prune and -name is a loser on GNU find.
(actually the behavior looks correct when -prune is after -name,
but then it's not the behavior we want any more).

PS: this particular bug has probably been fixed since the canonical GNU find
is version 4.1 which dates back to about 1994 I believe. Too bad that
the newer versions are still labeled "alpha/beta".
