This is probably caused by startpar, which have a limit on how long it
wait for a line printed by the subprocesses to complete.  In this
case, I guess smartmontools uses too long time, and thus startpar
passes on incomplete lines causing such output.

This is actually according to design of the parallel booting.  I guess
the timeout can be made longer, or smartmontools can be made faster.

Reassigning to the package with startpar, to assign it to a package
remotely related to this issue.

Happy hacking,
