Perhaps the error message in git-am could be modified to indicate
sed is a suspect?.  E.g.,

 lanny(master);<work/IdeaProjects/Piper> git rebase master rl-clean292
 First, rewinding head to replay your work on top of it...
 /sw/lib/git-core/git-am: line 692: Leblond: command not found
 Patch does not have a valid e-mail address.  (Used /sw/bin/sed found on PATH).

Hrm, that does not sound an attractive way going forward.

Do we have to suspect any and all uses of POSIX tools, just in case
somebody installs a broken implementation from random places?  Is
sed the only thing that is possibly broken?

By the way, have you filed a bug report to whoever supplied your /sw/bin/sed?
