macOS 'sed', that's what I was missing :)

and the 'sed' included in macOS apparently interprets that '\+'
differently than GNU 'sed', and as a result won't match anything.

More generally, this would be a problem with any 'sed' of BSD lineage.

FWIW, that '\+' doesn't seem to be necessary, though, and after
removing it the resulting generated array looked good to me [...]

A reasonable replacement for "<SP>\+" would be "<SP><SP>*" (where <SP>
represents 'space').
