I've never heard of any sed implementation failing to understand &
on the right-hand-side of a substitute as meaning "that which
matched on the left".  All descendents of Bell Lab's v7 sed (at
least; I don't have first hand experience with older seds) have
supported it, and it would be a major incompatability for any other
sed to have failed to support it.
