It looks like this is indeed the problem (when I type (flush) into the emacs
stk buffer, I get the output I was missing - though still no prompts). Stk
doesn't seem to have an interactive option though. For now I'm going to try a
solution suggested by Rob Deline - putting an explicit fflush(stdout) at the
bottom of the repl_loop function and re-compiling.

Can a "-interactive" option be put on an STk wish list somewhere?

Thanks,
