Actually, I think the "good" case is the broken one.

Do an "strace -f" on the two cases, and you'll see an EBADF in the case 
that you think is good: the missing output *is* there, it's just that you 
closed the file descriptor so you don't see it.

So if the output you want is with the close(1) (ie with the output 
discarded), then you have some other bug there.
