I had been seeing the error message during 'make installer' in my 
branch after "Translating Resources":

sed: RE error: illegal byte sequence

It turns out to be caused by the makeSubstitutions function in 
package/buildpackage.sh attempting to do text substitutions on the 
contents of a .tiff file, in this case 
.../sym/package/Chameleon/Resources/background.tiff.in .

I put in an 'echo' to capture the erring 'sed' command, here it is 
(sorry about the formatting):

The erring call is at line 1206 of package/buildpackage.sh.
