Ignore that, I'd forgotten that my bulk builds are done in a sanitised
environment.  If I set LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 then I see the issue too.

The cause is the 'appendix' subst stage, we could work around it
easily enough but I fear there will probably be quite a few lurking.

I'll send a separate proposal to enable sed on El Capitan for the
branch.  After the branch we can look at enabling bulk builds to
exacerbate this issue and see if we can clean them up or sanitise the
environment globally as Thomas suggested in an earlier thread.

Thanks,
