It should. In case pmud (started without -a) complains about the missing
fifo, file a bug.

find is more powerful than find -exec grep {} so yes, I'd expect the
syntax to be more difficult. grep is buggy in that it doesn't deal
gracefully with anything except plain files, so either get grep fixed (you
mentioned a bug against grep) or work around the bug. If you use a hammer
to tighten a screw, do you also complain about unexpected side effects?
(Hint: grep would also happily search /dev/sda or /dev/zero)
