Doh', because it's a pipe, not a socket, that's why. pipe(7): "If all file descriptors referring to the read end of a pipe have been closed, then a write(2) will cause a SIGPIPE signal to be generated for the calling process." So ECONNRESET is definitely not the right error to set on POLLERR, though I'm still not sure what the right one would be (perhaps EPIPE?).
