I could not ever completely isolate the problem with buffering of
stdout in gnu emacs, but I have found a workaround.  
In file sysdep.c, routine reset_sys_modes(), the following statements
appear
	reset_terminal_modes();
	fflush(stdout);
      /* followed by some ioctl-looking stuff */
I simply put a
	sleep(2);
after the fflush(stdout), and now no characters are lost.
