I can reproduce your problem using sed 4.0.1, assuming sed actually gets some input (if there's no input on standard input, the diagnostic does not occur). Changing the pattern separators does not cure the problem. Replicating the address range pattern ("<.BLOCKQUOTE>") in the empty substitute target pattern does not help.
I'm not a total SED junkie, so maybe there's something I'm overlooking here, but it does appear to me to be a bug.

I included the WRONG sed script with the original message.
Attached is the correct one--that is, the one that creates the fuss--, with the (obviously) missing RE.
Sorry to waste your time on that--I had been doing a lot of testing and forgot I fiddled with the script.
Thanks,
