That is described in the parent section:

     It is impossible to separate the standard output and standard error
  streams of the subprocess, because Emacs normally spawns the subprocess
  inside a pseudo-TTY, and a pseudo-TTY has only one output channel.  If
  you want to keep the output to those streams separate, you should
  redirect one of them to a file—for example, by using an appropriate
  shell command.
