Transcode version checking bug

This is the command:
$ execflow ssh -o PreferredAuthentications=publickey shannon@shannon "umask 
0002; sh -c 'echo --ssh_connect--; echo Ok; 
echo --ssh_connect--;echo --data_base_dir_content--; 
cd /home/shannon/.reba_encode; echo * | perl -pe \"s/ /chr(10)/eg\" | 
sort;echo --data_base_dir_content--; echo --write_test--; echo node write 
test > /home/shannon/.reba_encode/Shannon-file-write-test && echo SUCCESS; 
rm -f /home/shannon/.reba_encode/Shannon-file-write-test; 
echo --write_test--; echo --transcode_version--; transcode -v; 
echo --transcode_version--; '"

This is what it did
EXEC_FLOW_JOB_PID=12395
--ssh_connect--
Ok
--ssh_connect--
--data_base_dir_content--
*
--data_base_dir_content--
--write_test--
SUCCESS
--write_test--

echo had finished both of it jobs before transcode had written it's version, 
which seems like a race condition but the ; did not seem to indicate that.

I tried the same command with:

 echo --transcode_version--; transcode -v; echo --transcode_version--;

replaced with
 echo --transcode_version--; transcode -v; sleep 0.1; 
echo --transcode_version--;

and it worked correctly..
