The first question is if you are really running GNU 'sed'?

He did fix one or two issues, but the one you report here was not addressed. He ultimately abandoned the attempt, I think, after Junio's reminder that the project had long ago declared Solaris's tools as a lost cause.

I wouldn't mind taking a look at it, though I don't promise anything, and I suspect the only way forward is by ensuring that the GNU or XPG tools are used instead of the Solaris ones.
