Well, the docs are clear about this. In "Error Handling Programming 
Guide For Cocoa" it explicitely says in a Note box:

"Note: Cocoa methods that indirectly return error objects in the 
Cocoa error domain are guaranteed to return such objects if the 
method indicates failure by directly returning nil or NO."
see <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/
ErrorHandlingCocoa/CreateCustomizeNSError/chapter_4_section_2.html>

So, I really think this one is covered well enough. It's a bit of a 
different case for OP's question, though even that is mentioned at 
the very bottom of the page in the error handling guide.
