Section 6.2 of SOAP 1.1 states
>>>>
SOAP HTTP follows the semantics of the HTTP Status codes for communicating
status information in HTTP. For example, a 2xx status code indicates that
the client's request including the SOAP component was successfully received,
understood, and accepted etc.
In case of a SOAP error while processing the request, the SOAP HTTP server
MUST issue an HTTP 500 "Internal Server Error" response and include a SOAP
message in the response containing a SOAP Fault element (see section 4.4)
indicating the SOAP processing error.
<<<<
I read the MUST in the second paragraph as requiring faults to be returned
with a 500 status.
