Actually the two calls below
find -name "[ni]*.el"
find -name [ni]*.el
both works for me when I run them in cmd.exe.
That's because the unquoted wildcard [ni]*.el does not match anything
when the startup code tries to expand it. Such a wildcard is passed
unaltered to the `find's `main' function, which has the same effect as
if it were quoted.
The case that fails is
find -name *.el
Because *.el matches something.
