IMHO, flushing is the responsibility of the stream user.

Lispworks has a stream:stream-soft-force-output function.  It's not
documented, but I assume this is called when Lisp is idle.  I added
methods for comm:socket-stream and our custom output streams.  This
seems to solve the problem.  Let's hope those methods don't infer with
application code.
