Greetings, Andy Hall!

This makes perfect sense and actually explains what you see.
1. ("col", "F1\r") & ("col", "F2")
2. ("col", "F1\r", "F2")
3. printing "col F1\r F2"
4. obvious result: "col F1", then \r place cursor at the beginning of the
line, then " F2" overprints the line beginning.
5. observed result: " F2 F1"

> OK

> col F1 F2

As Eliot said, don't do that.
