If another program invokes flac.exe to encode a WAV file that has an 
extra chunk or sub-chunk that FLAC strips it out during encoding, would 
that make flac.exe report a non-zero error level back to the program 
that called it?  I tried to find something about exit codes in the 
documentation and just got lost looking.

No.  It's not considered an error to skip non-audio sub-chunks.
