You are running curl in the background. It runs independently -- ergo, it prints when it pleases. Whether it will print lines precisely when you want it to is entirely coincidental. It could even print overtop of other lines sometimes but probably not all the time.
This is not a bug. This is just because you have no control over the order they print.
If you must run them in parallel, each instance of curl should write to its own logfile, IMHO. You can merge them after they're finished but not before.

NAME
script - make record of a terminal session
SYNOPSIS
script [-a] [filename]
DESCRIPTION
The script utility makes a record of everything printed on your screen. The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the
record is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS.
The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends
when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed.
OPTIONS
The following option is supported:
-a Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it.
NOTES
script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts.

WARNINGS
script can pose a security risk when used in directories that are writable by other users (for example, /tmp), especially when run by a
privileged user, that is, root. Be sure that typescript is not a link before running script.
