You don't state what version of the code you're using.  Using current HEAD
code it works as intended; olcChainReturnError can be set as needed (I
checked it using ldapmodify).

For example,

# {0}chain, {-1}frontend, config
dn: olcOverlay={0}chain,olcDatabase={-1}frontend,cn=config
objectClass: olcOverlayConfig
objectClass: olcChainConfig
olcOverlay: {0}chain
olcChainCacheURI: FALSE
olcChainMaxReferralDepth: 1
olcChainReturnError: TRUE
