And this is confirmed:

Cygwin:

% echo hello | sed -e 1iEXPORTS
EXPORTS
hello

MinGW:

$ echo hello | sed -e 1iEXPORTS
sed: -e expression #2, char 3: Extra characters after command

And my Solaris system (also with sed 3.02 since I proved to myself 
that it was better than sed 4.X):

% echo hello | sed -e 1iEXPORTS
sed: -e expression #1, char 3: Extra characters after command
