Here, on OS X 10.10.4 it works every time and every line entered shows up in terminal 1 instantly (as it should). If you ping 127.0.0.1 for some time you do have 0% loss, right? At this point I'd try to look at the OS X logs. Firewall is off right? Try to stop other software (any virtualization software, obscure network tools?)... What happens if you use the IP of en0, en1, ..., enX... instead of 127.0.0.1? Rebooting doesn't help (Windows docet)? When the first line doesn't get through, does it show up in the Recv-Q Send-Q fields in netstat -an (provided the connection shows up at all)? When you keep a third terminal open running sudo tcpdump -n -i lo0 while you do the nc thing, do you see anything? > BTW ^D just ends the session without sending anything, I'm hitting > enter to send instead. Oh yes, I wasn't clear on that...
