I can't reproduce this on 4.0.1-1.

Using "sh -x /usr/share/varnish/reload-vcl", I tested the following
scenarios:

- With varnish running, the return code is "0".

- With varnish stopped, the return code is "1".

- With a syntax error in the VCL, the return code is "1".

- With an unprivileged user, the return code is "1".

I need more information. Could you update the bug with the output of 

  "sh -x /usr/share/varnish/reload-vcl ; echo $?"

…when run as root?
