Hm, the simple scripts use

log_daemon_msg "Starting $DESC" "$NAME"

which outputs the description followed by the daemon name in a single
atomic write, AFAIK.

In the case of several daemons started by an init script a possible
solution could be to abandon the idea of reporting the _progress_ in
real time, and instead report atomically just the final _result_.
