Yes. And the wording not only concerns the error itself. But also the
rest of the message. If I compile:

\version "2.19.80"
{ a }

I get a perfectly fine output, but the message reads:
fatal error: failed files: "test.ly"
In this thread we already talked about the fatal (which is exaggerated
here), but also the 'failed' is misleading as the comilation of the file
did not fail, it just had (maybe severe, because unpredictable) errors.

So, I agree with Urs.
