Thank you for the report.
This failure is not in sed directly, but a library called "gnulib" 
(which GNU sed uses).

I've added the gnulib mailing list to this discussion.

To help us diagnose the issue, please attach the log file
( gnulib-tests/test-suite.log ), and the details of your system
(e.g. "uname -a" and "gcc --version" and "df -T").

Additionally, sed version 4.4 is three years old.
If possible, please test with the latest sed version 4.8.

regards,
