Rterm (sic) does return an error status. You have not provided a
reproducible example, so here is one (done in tcsh)
% echo 'q()' | rterm --vanilla --slave || echo failed
% echo 'q(status=3)' | rterm --vanilla --slave || echo failed
failed
% echo 'stop("test")' | rterm --vanilla --slave || echo failed
Error: test
Execution halted
failed
Whatever the problem is in your case, it is not what you have erroneously
reported as a bug. (BTW, I knew this worked as the R scripts, including
the build process, make heavy use of it.)

Not current: see the FAQ which asks you not to report on obselete versions
