The flag status=progress shows the actual progress of the dd command during the whole execution. So that is not "wrong" information, that is information that was right at some point during the process before dd finished its execution. Perhaps I inadvertently pressed a key while it was showing the progress and the output did not return to the beginning of the line.

I do get that it wasn't "wrong" when it was displayed ... I just think it should have been replaced with the "right" information when the program ended with no error.

Seeing how it looks like it "tried" to replace that line with a correct one - It's entirely possible than an unintended keypress could have messed up the output
(I can think of keys that might cause a new line in Linux, but none that would "eat" an outgoing <return> come to mind)
