The S<> notation seems new here (so it's going to be inconsistent with
the rest of this file, I think).

Exit codes 0 and 1 permit the following as well: the shell script may
output some preliminary diagnostics to stderr, but then exit with code
0. In that case, the command is considered successsful, and the script's
stderr is thrown away by nbdkit.

Should we parallel that here as well? That would require two separate
codes, like 4 and 5. They'd match error codes 0 and 1, except an async
shutdown would be initiated as well.

Same comment as for code 4.

I think allowing a script to output log messages but ultimately to
succeed is nice. (Including the case where "succeed" entails shutting
down the server.)

Ugh, please don't use goto's like this. :/

(I can imagine that, if you rewrite this code according to my proposal
above, the parsing logic may become simpler to reach/retain.)

The rest looks OK (after briefly skimming it), it is affected by my
proposal though. In particular I notice "Noisy status 0 succeeds,
despite text to stderr" -- that might be useful to extend to the new
exit scenarios.
