Thhe html documentation http://www.valgrind.org/docs/manual/index.html explains what --error-exitcode=9 does in case valgrind notes an error.
--error-exitcode=<number> Specifies an alternative exit code to return if Valgrind reported any errors in the run. When set to the default value (zero), the return value from Valgrind will always be the return value of the process being simulated. When set to a nonzero value, that value is returned instead, if Valgrind detects any errors. This is useful for using Valgrind as part of an automated test suite, since it makes it easy to detect test cases for which Valgrind has reported errors, just by inspecting return codes. It says nothing explicitly about what exit code is returned if valgrind does not find an error. AFAICT. In my tests, it appears that when valgrind finds no problem valgrind returns the exit code of the application under test if --error-exitcode is set non-zero. I suggest that the web page should say that clearly.
