The fact that sed was textmode was a bug in the sed sources. Sed ships its own version of getline which special cases Windows and DOS and, unfortunately, Cygwin, to always read its input in textmode. The new sed is only binmode because it's now using the Cygwin (better: newlib) version of getline, which does not add a textmode hack.
