No bell rings here, but it sure looks like it's performing "sed s,/,," rather than the specified substitution. That fall-back code relies on gawk, sed and /bin/sh, so you might try with a different shell, e.g., bash vs. dash, or inserting "| tee /tmp/log " into the pipeline to see if the damage is already done before the eval'd "sed" code runs.
