I'd like to see your API design proposal.
It's not like I want to change anything, but wouldn't it be great to be able to write it simply as something like {⍵,⎕FIO[6] fd}⍣≡⍬ ? Disregarding errors, this would be possible if ⎕FIO[6] returned empty vector when result is empty instead of a zero, but the major problem is not in FIO but in that underlying fread doesn't distinguish between EOF and errors in the first place.
