As others have commented, I think the right way to say this is probably
"it is not reported to the user as an error, but still exits with a
non-zero exit status".

And I think it looks better.

But:

>  			"# (Comment lines starting with '#' will ");

I still prefer a shortened version of these three lines, as I mentioned
earlier.
