Actually,

bash -c 'echo a; echo b > a' >&-

is enough for me to reproduce the problem.

And that program below shows the same behavior when run as 
./a.out >&-

#include <stdio.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
int main()
{
  printf("a\n");
  fflush(stdout);
  dup2(open("a", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT, 0644), 1);
  printf("b\n");
  fflush(stdout);
  return 0;
}
