The documentation (page 196 of the PDF version, at 
http://www.exim.org/exim-pdf-current/doc/spec.pdf), implies the answer is YES.  

"If an address for which errors_to has been set ends up being delivered over 
SMTP, the envelope sender for that delivery is the errors_to value, so that any 
bounces that are generated by other MTAs on the delivery route are also sent 
there."

It also talks about re-instating the return path by setting return_path, so I 
suspect it does update return_path (the variable), but not $return_path which 
is the value of the variable.
