Are you sure EXIT is really documented to cause a reboot on that PIC with
that compiler?  In general the behavior of EXIT can't be counted on when
there is no operating system that initiated the process to return execution
to.  This makes it a bad idea since it can work differently between
compilers, on different PICs, and possibly even between versions of the same
compiler.  If you want to reboot the PIC, a RESET or GOTO 0 instruction
would be more explicit and reliable.

Probably you are rebooting the PIC before the UART has finished sending the
last character.  Spin waiting on TRMT to be set before rebooting and see if
that fixes the problem.
