I would think that the handling of messages in the compiler needs some
adjustments with regards to where they go.>>


Read the documentation. Long form messages including the source go to
stdout (since nothing else goes to stdout from the compiler, this makes 
perfectly good sense, also the compiler listing goes to stdout).
Brief form error messages go to stderr.

The use of the pipe option is completely useless in any case, as I
pointed out a while ago, so the fact that it does not work is hardly
significant!
