Buffering will make a mess of this, bundling arbitrary blocks into one write. These arbitrary blocks don't care much where lines begin and end. Long enough lines could conceivably take more than one write!
If you have GNU awk, --line-buffered may help, but will have a big performance cost.
You could also send the output to separate files and cat them together later.
