Follow-up Comment #1, bug #19904 (project findutils):

The point the submiter is making is that
xargs -d' '
executes the command one more time, with an empty string as arg. Shorter
testcase:

address@hidden:/tmp/findtest$ touch foo
address@hidden:/tmp/findtest$ find . -name foo |xargs -d' '
./foo

address@hidden:/tmp/findtest$ find . -name foo |xargs -n1
./foo
address@hidden:/tmp/findtest$

Note the additinoal empty line.
