I am not sure if this is a bug or it is just not supported. There are some indices in the FAQ that miniZ supports Dual Mining. This feature is not well documented, there are several examples in the FAQ where second coin is ZIL. I tried to mine two different algos and it looks it is not supported or it is broken.

Mine "ETC+KAS" at UNMINEABLE. When I try to mine each coin separately, it works. When I try dual mining, only "EtcHash" is mined, it is the fist pool. When I swap orders of pools, then "kHeavyHash" is mined. It looks like Real dual coin mining is not supported in miniZ. When several --url arguments are used, the second one is just a fallback pool. In some special cases (a magic) second pool is used to mine ZIL (as described in FAQ, xxx+ZIL)

Example, UNMINEABLE:

#!/bin/sh

WORKER="MINIZ"
WALLET="BTC:1CZwzXAuMTXb2MXDTEz4KgFcauo6oVqvuv"
WALLET2="$WALLET"
REF="gudm-88g0"

POOL="etchash.unmineable.com:3333"
USER="$WALLET.$WORKER#$REF"
PASS="x"

POOL2="kheavyhash.unmineable.com:3333"
USER2="$WALLET2.$WORKER#$REF"
PASS2="x"

OPTS="--extra --show-pers"

#./miniZ --url="$USER@$POOL" $OPTS "$@"    # TEST POOL 1
#./miniZ --url="$USER2@$POOL2" $OPTS "$@"  # TEST POOL 2

./miniZ --url="$USER@$POOL" --url="$USER2@$POOL2" $OPTS "$@"  # TRY DUAL MINING, POOL1 + POOL2
#./miniZ --url="$USER2@$POOL2" --url="$USER@$POOL" $OPTS "$@"  # TRY DUAL MINING, POOL2 + POOL1

HiveOS does't support dual mining with miniZ, form for second coin is missing. It should be there as it looks like ZIL could be the second coin... Several other miners, like gminer could mine in dual coin mode, HiveOS supports that.

SRB can dual mine algos aurum and randomx, etc.
