I think this is our good old friend, MacOSX' sed.  (Wasn't there a 
question today what's wrong with using sed?  I think this issue 
qualifies.)

I imagine that it is that MacOSX' sed is adding a trailing newline (not 
the regexp like you suggested).  Which means that "wc -l" would print "1".  
(You can see for yourself if you run the script with "sh -x ...".)

IMHO a good solution would be

	test -z "$(grep -e '^#' -e '^$' actual)"

Could you test, please?

Thanks,
