I am guessing that this is something to do with find-grep-dired, which
is not part of dired. dired-7 uses text properties (or extents in
XEmacs) to find filenames, and this may be fooling find-grep-dired.
Since I don't have a copy of find-grep-dired for XEmacs, I can't
look into this. The speedup with using text properties to find file
names is substantial, so find-grep-dired should start using it.
