First, nice work pinning it down a bit more! :)

This is surely an issue with GNU sed, as my BSD sed does not have this
issue (old & new stuff both work as expected). It's interesting that
you're getting different results than the original problem. Different
versions of GNU sed, perhaps? If so, then the "issue" is still mutating.
