There's an entry point in the BBC Micro's OS that's routine that prints a character, or LF+CR if the character is CR (13). This routine prints the CR second, so that when it was called with 13 originally it can fall through into the main, non-translating character print routine with 13 in the accumulator, and then return to the caller that way too. (These two routines promise to preserve the accumulator.) Saves a couple of bytes in the ROM.

(There's also an entry point partway through the wrapper that just prints a newline. DRY and all that.)

The code is not exactly this, but differs from it in no relevant way:

    .osasci \ print char, translating CR to newline
        cmp #13:bne oswrch
    .osnewl \ print newline
        lda #10:jsr oswrch
        lda #13:\fall through
    .oswrch \ print char without translation
        pha
        ...
        pla
        rts

The Atom's ROM does the same thing, so they presumably just copied this for the BBC. After all, it doesn't really matter which order you print them.
