I don't think it is a sed problem. Since I have the same version.

I use
linux 2.4.18
automake 1.7
autoconf 2.57
sed 3.02

This link is from automake's mailing list.
It describes the problem you are seeing.
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/automake/2001-10/msg00066.html

I am pretty sure it is from upgrading from automake 1.4 to automake 1.5
or greater. I don't know why it works for me and not you. Let me know if
you solve the problem and I'll continue looking into it.
