The inconsistency is in the fact, that the behavior depends on the size of the
buffer and length of the lines (not the size of the file).
If the 10 lines, which tail tries to output initially, exceed the size of the
buffer, tail learns about awk going away immediately. If the lines are not
long enough, it does not.
Also, I would expect a program to be notified (by SIGPIPE?) /immediately/,
when any of its output pipes are closed -- instead of waiting for it to try
to write into the pipe. But this issue is not, it seems, FreeBSD-specific...
