I tried it on OS X 10.9.5 and on Ubuntu Linux 14.04.1 (sed version 4.2.2). 

The “-i” option is mentioned in the GNU sed docs here: https://www.gnu.org/software/sed/manual/sed.html

The OS X sed man page indeed lists “-i” as non-standard option: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/sed.1.html

What OS/sed version are you using?

Thanks, Lars
