Also, the sed info documentation "Reporting Bugs" explicitly says that
this is not a bug.

`[a-z]' is case insensitive
     You are encountering problems with locales.  POSIX mandates that
     `[a-z]' uses the current locale's collation order - in C parlance,
     that means using `strcoll(3)' instead of `strcmp(3)'.  Some
     locales have a case-insensitive collation order, others don't.

     Another problem is that `[a-z]' tries to use collation symbols.
     This only happens if you are on the GNU system, using GNU libc's
     regular expression matcher instead of compiling the one supplied
     with GNU sed.  In a Danish locale, for example, the regular
     expression `^[a-z]$' matches the string `aa', because this is a
     single collating symbol that comes after `a' and before `b'; `ll'
     behaves similarly in Spanish locales, or `ij' in Dutch locales.

     To work around these problems, which may cause bugs in shell
     scripts, set the `LC_COLLATE' and `LC_CTYPE' environment variables
     to `C'.
