Yes. I inovke `sqlcmd' not only with -r 0, but also with -b:

   -b
   Specifies that sqlcmd exits and returns a DOS ERRORLEVEL
   value when an error occurs. The value that is returned to
   the DOS ERRORLEVEL variable is 1 when the SQL Server error
   message has a severity level greater than 10

The invocation sqlcmd -r 0 -b should either succeed or print
an error message in STDERR. In my case, however, it failed
but did not send anything to STDERR.
