Because you wouldn't scratch a part of your body when you know it might be
wounded :) Probably a patch like this against find(1) solves your problem
(not tested, because I don't have smbfs share at hand)? This patch changes
the behavior of -fstype to report false whenever statfs() on a mountpoint
fails, instead of terminating the process. I can't think of a bad side-effect
with this patch, other than, hmm,

# find /tmp \! -fstype ufs -exec 'shutdown -p now' \;
