Message:
This actually applies to all completions in general. Right now if you type > and tab you get the same completion as for the regular command. You do not get special completion for files.

It just so happens that most completions work with files by default so it seems to work. But all completions are affected, this is not in any way specific to find.

Fixing this would require calling a special function which checks if there's a redirection operator somewhere and if so completes all filenames.
