The issue seems to be that the WebpackBar plugin is always included and that's what's causing that output:

laravel-mix/src/builder/webpack-plugins.js

Lines 52 to 54 in b116bf0

	if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'test') {
	plugins.push(new WebpackBar({ name: 'Mix' }));
	}

At the current moment, I guess the way to do this would be to add a boolean property to the Mix class that toggles if progress is shown or not, and that can be used to wrap adding that plugin or not. Could probably figure out the value of it by looking for --progress on progress.argv array, or take advantage of the env var object that webpack provides.

Dupe of #2970. This is a very old bug that I fear will never be fixed at this point.
