Comment (by cypherpunks):

 > Which version of Ubuntu are you using? (I can't easily test on Ubuntu
 now, but other people will want to know.) Are you using the standard
 configuration/state (i.e. default configuration of Unity started from the
 default desktop manager, and without running Nautilus from a terminal)?

 It happens for Ubuntu 14.04. It's possible to test with installation CD in
 virtual environment. No any changes need.

 > Which file descriptors are incorrectly reported as terminals?

 1 and 2. (stdout and stderr)

 > Are messages that a program sends to stdout displayed to the user
 immediately? Are messages that a program sends to stderr displayed to the
 user immediately?

 Ubuntu writes such stdout to `.cache/upstart/gnome-session-Unity.log`.
 Invisible for user.
