no mis-behaving: this is intended behavior - you yourself have given
workarounds: either redirect output to a file that can be later read, or pipe to
command grouping ala {} or () and read stdin from inside the subshell

im not sure what you are asking here - it seems you have a grasp already of the
"problem" and "solution" - so nothing more needs to be said really, as nothing
needs to be fixed - another option is "lastpipe"
