I don't understand where that "sort: read failed: .: Is a directory"
comes from. It's definitely not a message from update-rc.d.
Perhaps your shell or something in your environment does this. Maybe zsh
auto-completion or whatever ? Perhaps that messes up the call to
update-rc.d ?

What you could do is to add this temporarily to the top of that script:
print "CALLED WITH ARGS: ", join(':', @ARGV), "\n";
.. and see what it prints. If it is something else than
"-n:dummy:start:37:S:." then something is mucking with the command line
options to update-rc.d before it is even called.
