Comment:

 Actually where it fails is:

 {{{
 :info:build sed: RE error: illegal byte sequence
 }}}

 This is a common problem we're seeing with Mountain Lion's version of sed.
 It happens when sed is asked to replace characters in a file which has a
 strange character encoding. The solution is to tell sed to assume the C
 locale.
