Maybe only the name of the student comes out on all of them, even 
though they all wrote their school as well.  The parchment comes out 
charred; I get an image of it being purged by the Goblet of everything 
but the glowing name.  Dumbledore would know the school anyway; 
Viktor's name comes out first and he isn't likely to forget which of 
the foreign schools he goes to, and after that it's obvious who goes 
where.

Another possibility is that it =did= say a fourth school and 
Dumbledore just didn't read it out.  Moody/Crouch isn't concerned 
about Dumbledore knowing how it was done (being that he proposes the 
fourth-school theory himself)--so long as he doesn't know who did it 
and doesn't have any way to stop it from going forward.
