kaname:~ # echo foo | LANG=C sed -e 's/fo\(o\)/\2/' 
sed: -e expression #1, char 13: invalid reference \3 on `s' command's RHS 
kaname:~ # rpm -q sed 
sed-4.1.4-5 
 
it should say invalid reference \2

Upstream maintainer told me it's fixed upstream. So we'll get the fix with the
next sed version, and thus I wont fix it.
