My feeling is that original LyX config files shouldn't be touched unless absolutely necessary, as that is difficult to follow and maintain. Instead, we should concentrate on enabling proper tools and utilities on the Windows platform. There is already a good enough workaround for this problem, until MSYS updates its tools. If simple sed.exe replacement doesn't work for you (as it doesn't for me), try to
- install GnuWin32's sed with its installation package - add path_to_gnuwin32\bin to your %PATH% - rename \lyx\bin\sed.exe to something else
