Not all seds grok extended regexp magic. It's very possible that the version of sed that your .procmailrc runs is different from the one you get at your shell prompt. Perhaps your shell sessions and procmail processes on your arriving mail run on different servers, or if they run on the same server perhaps they have different values for $PATH and thus find different sed binaries.
