Hello,

Could it be that this 25th pattern that you've added (as the first
sed command) has an un-escaped slash, which messes up the rest of the
patterns ?
That is, the sed command "/.*ExpressVPN/client\..*$/d;'
actually means: match lines with "ExpressVPN",
then "c" (change) the lines to "lient\n..*$d/;".
Example:
$ echo "ExpressVPN" | sed -E '/.*ExpressVPN/client\..*$/d;'
lient..*$/d;
And, if this is the first pattern, then all the rest of the text
is treated as the same line to change, and not as additional sed
patterns:
$ echo "ExpressVPN" | sed -E '/.*ExpressVPN/client\..*$/d;
/Anything Else/d'
lient..*$/d; /Anything Else/d
This is a just a quick guess, I haven't been able to reproduce
what you're seeing otherwise.
