Hello,
the behavior you are describing is documented here:
https://www.gnu.org/software/sed/manual/sed.html#Escaping-Precedence
If you want to produce a basic regular expression given a string to be matched
literally, precede any of $*.[\]^ with \
Likewise, if you are using hex escapes (\xHH), precede any of \x24 \x2a \x2e
\x5b \x5c \x5d \x5e with \x5c
