$ IFS=":"
$ path_array=( $(echo "$PATH") )
$ IFS=$'\n'
$ find "${path_array[@]}" . -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -not -type d -executable \

Could this be a find(1) bug? But, well, it should happen here as well.
Do you have any "strange" configuration? LVM, ...?

find /home/neo/bin /usr/local/bin /usr/bin /bin /usr/games /home/neo/bin /sbin /usr/sbin /usr/local/sbin /home/neo/bin /sbin /usr/sbin /usr/local/sbin .
-mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -not -type d -executable -printf %f\n

  $

Ok, the same result I had above.

$ LANG=C apt-cache policy findutils

I can't really see anything different, apart from the very first part I quoted.
