I think only errors due to currently in-flight RPCs that are aborted due to client eviction are returned.

At that moment, if the client is evicted, those pages are dropped. Then client reconnect, the process writes other data. Those I/O are successful, client has missed that some previous I/O failed?

I would agree.
