Why should this be so? I thought I need -0/-z only if there are "\n" in
file names (and I specifially talk about a find | update-index pipeline).

Sure, -0/-z is safer and to be used in scripts. But for an ad-hoc command
that I type on the command line, why should I use -0/-z if I know that I
don't have any "\n" in my file names?
