You're putting a Delay in the main UI process, which is the process that
should be keeping the Transcript up to date - as is being delayed it cannot
do so. Whether delaying the UI process is generally (as I have always
thought) a bad idea or whether it's down to the possible bug mentioned
earlier this month (the "Bug in Event Loop?" thread) I'm not sure.
Running the loop in a forked process, so that the main UI process remains
responsive, solves this particular case.
[Transcript show.

clear;
print: i;
flush.
(Delay forMilliseconds: 1000) wait]] fork
