The case of
sed -e 's/something/nothing/g' myfile > myfile2
as it works in Cygwin today would mean that in the case of the OP's
drive settings myfile2 would not contain the CR. Treating CR as white
space is the more proper thing to do, IMO.
myfile is not the script file. The script file is the one that you pass
to -f.
Using "rt" was introduced in both cases for Cygwin, so regressions on
other systems shouldn't be a problem.
