Well, My guess was right. I have a following line in the /etc/profile:

export LANG=et_EE.ISO8859-15

After I expoerted LANG=en_US.ISO8859-1, the sed started to work.

I did not thought that LANG parameter will also alter the alfabet and 
therefore the expression [a-z] does not cover the full alphabet anymore.
