I think your problem has not so much to do with your example but more how
Orion implemented their console output handling.
This happens when to make the console output window active and have some
sort of interaction with it (a mouse click within it etc.). The output
stream handling seems to be blocking for Orion and only after you press a
key within the console window the application server will continue with its
(pending) operations.

I'm not sure if I would call it a bug but it certainly is anoying.
If you want something to be done about you could enter it as a problem in
Bugzilla.
