Off hand I can't answer question 1. I can show you a script that duplicates
the issue.

 #!/bin/bash


echo "test this is stderr" >&2
echo "test this is stdout" > /dev/tty

exit 0

/dev/tty is the current controlling terminal. I could possibly see a number
of reasons to send output their rather than stdout. One would be to ensure
that the output goes to whatever terminal started the module.
