This sounds like a question of semantics - I consider anything which will cause PHP to halt execution with the message "Fatal Error" as a fatal error, even if the sablotron extension is doing a RETURN_FALSE internally. Since there's no possible way for a PHP developer to trap such an error, it sounds like the documentation should be updated to reflect the way xslt_process() actually behaves.
