find 4.1: incorrect "No such file or directory" using -empty and -depth

Hello,

this is GNU find 4.1 on HPUX 10.20 (compiled using HP ANSI cc)

When I use both -depth and -empty (to delete empty dirs) find
incorrectly complains about 
"No such file or directory".
This goes away as soon as I drop one of these options.

Example: (done as root (to avoid permission problems) on a local
HFS-Filesystem)
[lasagne_ROOT]:>find --version
GNU find version 4.1
[lasagne_ROOT]:>find /stand  -depth -empty
/stand/lost+found
find: /stand/build: No such file or directory
find: /stand: Not a directory

But:
[lasagne_ROOT]:>ll /stand/build/
total 184
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root         1024 Sep 27 12:51 .
dr-xr-xr-x    4 bin      bin          1024 Sep 27 12:51 ..

-rw-r--r--    1 root     root        35772 Sep 27 12:51 conf.c
-rw-r--r--    1 root     sys         34876 Sep 27 12:51 conf.o
-rw-r--r--    1 root     sys         34876 Sep 26 15:28 conf.o.old
-rwxr--r--    1 root     sys          3072 Apr 27 15:26 config.SAM.mk
-rwxr--r--    1 root     root         3102 Sep 27 12:51 config.mk
-rw-r--r--    1 root     sys           396 Jun 19 12:30 space.h

And sure enough: /stand exists...

The same thing happens for VxFS or NFS (V3) filesystems.
The order of the options (-depth, -empty) isn't significant.
