These tests all crash and burn with BSD sed (including Mac OS X) since
you're not restricting yourself to BRE (basic regular expressions).
You _could_ request extended regular expressions, which do work on
those platforms, as well as with GNU sed:

    sed -nEe "/^(author|summary) /p" ...

An obvious way to avoid any RE is to write it as two separate
statements.

Yes, that's even better; now I feel stupid for not thinking of it.
