Really?  Are you sure sed changed the files?  I just did:

: lyda at parsley on pts/21 ; echo moo > foo
: ok ; : Wed 21 21:28 ; cd ~
: lyda at parsley on pts/21 ; touch -r /etc/profile foo
: ok ; : Wed 21 21:28 ; cd ~
: lyda at parsley on pts/21 ; ls -l foo
-rw-r----- 1 lyda lyda 4 Mar 10  2009 foo
: ok ; : Wed 21 21:28 ; cd ~
: lyda at parsley on pts/21 ; sed -i -e s/moo/boo/ foo
: ok ; : Wed 21 21:28 ; cd ~
: lyda at parsley on pts/21 ; ls -l foo
-rw-r----- 1 lyda lyda 4 Oct 21 21:28 foo

Even in the case where nothing changes, the timestamp is changed.
