Follow-up Comment #3, bug #51151 (project findutils):
I suggest this form as a workaround, particularly because it causes Emacs to
see as stdin whatever the stdin in effect in the environment. I'm not sure
there's a way that we could package that into an option for xargs, though.
exec 3<&0
find

Afaict it fullfills the same purpose. However it requires using a specific
shell (bash).

I'm not sure if I understand the requirement correctly,
but isn't
$ xargs -n1 -a <(ls) vi
or (for file names with unusual characters)
$ xargs -0n1 -a <(find -type f -print0) vi
what you are looking for?
