There's a little more info on why this behaviour occurs here:
https://github.com/ansible/ansible-lint/issues/1398
The shell return value is accurate regardless:
[wmcdonald@fedora tests]$ ll

-rw-r--r--. 1 wmcdonald wmcdonald 143 Dec 22 12:55 test1.yaml
[wmcdonald@fedora tests]$ cat test1.yaml

- hosts: localhost
gather_facts: yes
tasks:

debug:

[wmcdonald@fedora tests]$ ansible-lint
[wmcdonald@fedora tests]$ echo $?
0
[wmcdonald@fedora tests]$ ansible-lint test1.yaml
WARNING Overriding detected file kind 'yaml' with 'playbook' for given

[wmcdonald@fedora tests]$ echo $?
