it doesn't: look closely at your commands.
term% @{rfork e; echo hi} >[2]/env/hi; echo test; cat /env/hi
hi
test
the echo hi is going to standard output, which is not captured.
the >[2]/env/hi is creating an empty env variable in the parent shell scope
(name space).
echo test goes to standard output, and cat /env/hi prints the empty env
variable on standard output.
