Was a challenge for golf originally an i'm bored. 138 chars is benchmark.

Slight shave - remove long options and a couple of seds:
find . -printf "%h/%f:::%f\n" | sort -i -k 2 | uniq -i -D -f 1 | sed
's/:::.*$//'
99 chars

Pretty sure that still good for whitespace. Same qualification for
files with ::: in the name.
