Mine was calling sed -E -e, so I had to add a -E.

For those wondering, you can check exactly what commands your version of Vagrant is trying to run in /var/log/auth.log, at least on Ubuntu/Debian.

In Mac OSX it is using a very long command with UUIDs for the sed command in the latest vagrant. I'm still working on getting it functional.
