By coincidence I was able to reproduce this failure on a
windows 10 / cygwin64 environment.

In the underlying NTFS file system, the above commands
(mkdir/chmod/touch) do not fail with "permission denied"
as it does on typical unix file systems.

I'm chalking it up to a file-system issue, and not a sed bug.
Thus closing this bug.
Discussion can continue by replying to this thread, and if there
is more information we can always re-open it.
