Spaces in filenames are just as bad, and much more common:
$ touch 'foo bar'
$ find . -name 'foo bar'
./foo bar
$ find . -name 'foo bar' -print | xargs ls -l
ls: cannot access './foo': No such file or directory
ls: cannot access 'bar': No such file or directory
$ find . -name 'foo bar' -print0 | xargs -0 ls -l
-rw-r--r-- 1 dan dan 0 Oct 24 13:31 './foo bar'
$ rm 'foo bar'
