Follow-up Comment #1:

I've changed the code such that if -delete fails, find's exit status will be
nonzero.  

One of the reasons that we skip deletion of "." is for compatibility with
*BSD, where this action originated.   I'm certainly willing to further discuss
the removal of this special case, but I would prefer to mark this particular
bug as fixed.  So, if you'd like to press for removal of the special case,
please go ahead and open a fresh bug for that.   Thanks.
