Though it's a bit of a horrible abuse, you can do

   if v:shell_error > 0 | exec v:shell_error | endif

which exploits the fact that an ex command of just a number means 
to go to that line.  Granted, the range of exit codes may limit 
you to a pretty small range (1-127, IIRC), so you can't jump to a 
line beyond this max.  But it's what you asked for :)

There's no good help target that I could find for the ":<number>" 
syntax -- the closest I could get are:

   :help gg       " the item after it is ":[range]" with no tag
   :help cmdline.txt   " search for "goto line 3"
   :help cpo--    " has a mention of using it
   :help 'sol'    " has a mention of using it

Hope this helps,
