find 4.3.0 + 4.3.1: find -path '*/.*' -prune excludes too many files


Using "-path '*/.*' -prune" prunes too many files from find output when files to prune actually exists.

Problem occurs in both version 4.3.0 + 4.3.1 of find.
Problem does *not* occur in version 4.2.27.

Is this problem related to the following bug?

	Subject: find version 4.3.0, -path someNonDir -prune
	Date: Fri, 28 Jul 2006 08:33:15 +1000

Thanks for any help!

TO REPRODUCE:
-------------

Run commands

1.	mkdir -p d/d2

2.	touch d/d2/f

3.	find d -path '*/.*' -prune -o -print

	Result:
	-------
	d
	d/d2
	d/d2/f

4.	touch d/.x

5.	find d -path '*/.*' -prune -o -print

	Result:
	-------
	d
	d/d2

	Expected:
	---------
	d
	d/d2
	d/d2/f

	i.e., d/d2/f is unexpectedly dropped
