There are two type of errors that fsync can return. EBADF EROFS EINVAL - these are usage errors. EIO ENOSPC EDQUOT - these are functional failures.
So I would say there *is* something special about those errors, though it isn't *very* special, and it isn't *just* those errors. EDQUOT should be included in the list.
