it works though, Apache.xs:exit() passes the status value to
perl_util.c:perl_call_halt(), which checks:
    int is_http_code = 
        ((status >= 100) && (status < 600) && ERRSV_CAN_BE_HTTP);

    ...

    if(is_http_code) {
        croak("%d\n", status);
    }

the croak() call is caught the same way 'die SERVER_ERROR' is.
