According to Wikipedia, the [m|K] in the sed command you're using is specifically designed to handle m (the color command) and K (the "erase part of line" command). Your script is trying to set absolute cursor position to 60 (^[[60G) to get all the OKs in a line, which your sed line doesn't cover.

(Properly, [m|K] should probably be (m|K) or [mK], because you're not trying to match a pipe character. But that's not important right now.)

If you switch that final match in your command to [mGK] or (m|G|K), you should be able to catch that extra control sequence.

./somescript | sed -r "s/\x1B\[([0-9]{1,3}(;[0-9]{1,2})?)?[mGK]//g"

Note: the regex has been slightly edited from its original form. I'm adding this totally unnecessary comment because SO won't let me save the edit otherwise.
