For the given examples, the non-zero exit code signifies failure, when lilypond 
has actually completed its task - generating a PDF - successfully. And this 
goes hand in hand with the misleading message “fatal error”, when in fact 
Lilypond has reported the syntax errors and merrily continued both parsing the 
input file and generating the output.

So which was it, failure or success?
