 Can't reproduce it on 8.2 with either sed or gsed:
 
 $ /usr/bin/sed -e 's/../& /g' test
 :1 00 00 00 01 8F 09 FE 51 8F 09 FE 51 8F 09 FE 51 8F 09 FE 5C 0
 :1 00 01 00 01 8F 09 FE 50 00 0A 0E 1F 0F F1 FE 51 4F 09 FE 55 8
 $ /usr/local/bin/gsed -e 's/../& /g' test
 :1 00 00 00 01 8F 09 FE 51 8F 09 FE 51 8F 09 FE 51 8F 09 FE 5C 0
 :1 00 01 00 01 8F 09 FE 50 00 0A 0E 1F 0F F1 FE 51 4F 09 FE 55 8
 
 Probably something is stripping : at the start of the line in your
 environment?
