Yes the bug is reproducible, and I've already reported it several months
ago from the perspective of cygwin.  My patch for cygwin used
freopen(NULL,mode,stdout) instead of fpurge, with mode chosen correctly
based on whether the underlying stream is in append mode, but that is
equally unportable to other platforms.
