Nice spot, you are correct. This is a bug. Can't believe I missed that one.
I will trot out a patch.

I'll defer that decision to Daniel.

This one I would advise against. There is no standard way of marking error
conditions in Gopher. There are some de facto ones, but I don't think those
should be handled by curl necessarily.
