I am not very familiar with the socket/tcp code but it looks for me that it
might not make any difference.

I can be wrong here but the situation you have described as true "connection
reset by peer" seems to have the following path in the code:

soclose() -> sodisconnect() -> tcp_usr_disconnect() -> tcp_disconnect()

But tcp_disconnect() does not return error, so we will not have ECONNRESET
error in any case.

May be you have a good test suite to reproduce this situation? :-)
