Kassen, on unix stderr ends up in the console, the issue (if I understand correctly) is when you want to pipe the output of chuck --probe to a file. I just tried chuck -h > file.txt, and it's the same there, file.txt ends up empty and I get the help output on the console. I'd say it's a bug, plain and simple - unix apps don't commonly behave that way.
For me it works on Linux. I wonder whether this is a ChucK issue or a OSX one. I don't think ChucK should be aware of where the output is being send. I wonder whether stderr is being routed to some central log file here. Anyway, I agree it is a bug; It's text output and should go to the console unless we pipe it to a file or something like grep, that's how UNIX does things and the way in which everything makes everything else more useful.
