Heh, no wonder I do not recall that one, as everything happened and conclusions reached while I was sleeping ;-)
If it is not a bug in platform-sanctioned sed, but a buggy third-party build, then I wouldn't worry about it for this cycle, but pre-release freeze might be a good time to start sketching Thomas's --format="%'%an <%ae>%'" approach, perhaps?
