Current Xorg builds should be trying to sound the bell via both
/dev/kbd & /dev/audio, and I don't think can tell if the keyboard
bell is missing (or broken, as it was in several workstations
for some builds).

The return from XBell isn't an XError code - in fact, XBell() is
hardcoded to always return 1 since it's asynchronous and has just
added to the outgoing request buffer when it returns:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libX11/tree/src/Bell.c#n34
(So your test case also fails since there's no CloseDisplay()
XFlush(), or Xsync() after the XBell call to actually send
the queued requests to the server.)
