That depends. tee -i will ignore SIGINT but ./script gets it. So it can keep writing in the pipe, from the script proper or its SIGINT handler and exit when it's done and that'll kill tee as well. Without -i, tee will die when it gets a SIGINT, the script gets a SIGPIPE if it tries to write the pipe now so that would cause the script to die before its SIGINT handler can finish.
