Hi folks, I'm the writer of the blog post that raised this issue, I had already posted an issue for the tracker before I blogged about it for Google.
I believe that it's *only* a documentation issue, because even though the behavior is somewhat unconventional for a UNIX/Linux system, it works now on all the systems you support, and that means it's probably too painful (and unnecessary) to change. It does occur to me that the code could be changed a bit so that if gbak gets the EPIPE error, the failure message could somehow mention that, as it would probably give a better searchable error, but mucking with the code is a lot more work (and risk) than just enhancing the docs. I appreciate the consideration you folks have given to this issue.

I've updated the gbak docs to cover this. I'll be uploading soon when I've checked spelling and so on and correctness of build. I've posted a bit more detail in the docs mailing list. The version you will want is 1.7 dated 11 january 2013.
