It is actually 
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/a2626a2a427afc5d139061e43ade0e62bafda8ad/src/analysis/processing/qgsalgorithmdissolve.cpp#L303

It doesn't stop the algorithm, the algorithm has to
stop by itself after it detects and report the fatal error. This boolean is 
usefull
for other classes that would implement feedback to be aware that the
algorithm has to stop, and so act as such, like printing a red colored
message FATAL ERROR for instance.

This is how I understand the rationale of this boolean.

Don't be :)
