No babel-cli watch mode console output after first compilation

See original GitHub issue

Bug Report

Current Behavior

The babel-cli in --watch mode does not output any messages following the first compilation. It seems as though the CLI is not doing anything even though files are compiling.

Input Code

babel src -d lib --watch

Expected behavior/code

The CLI should display an output summary after every --watch mode compilation.

Babel Configuration (.babelrc, package.json, cli command)

N/A.

Environment

Babel version(s): v7.0.0-beta.41 - v7.0.0-beta.46
Node/npm version: Node 10/npm 6
OS: macOS v10.13.4
Monorepo: No
How you are using Babel: cli

Possible Solution

Additional context/Screenshots

This issue began with https://github.com/babel/babel/pull/7439 in v7.0.0-beta.41. The babel-cli has a new a new --verbose flag for seeing exactly what files were compiled, but even with the verbose output of what files are being compiled there are no subsequent summary messages. An output summary should be displayed every compilation, regardless of the --verbose flag.
