My experiments has proven otherwise:

# . /lib/lsb/init-functions; log_end_msg 0; echo $?;
   ...done.
1

Including log_end_msg function:
log_end_msg () {
    # If no arguments were passed, return
    if [ -z "${1:-}" ]; then
        return 1
    fi

    retval=$1

    log_end_msg_pre "$@"

    # Only do the fancy stuff if we have an appropriate terminal
    # and if /usr is already mounted
    if log_use_fancy_output; then
        RED=`$TPUT setaf 1`
        YELLOW=`$TPUT setaf 3`
        NORMAL=`$TPUT op`
    else
        RED=''
        YELLOW=''
        NORMAL=''
    fi

    if [ $1 -eq 0 ]; then
        echo "."
    elif [ $1 -eq 255 ]; then
        /bin/echo -e " ${YELLOW}(warning).${NORMAL}"
    else
        /bin/echo -e " ${RED}failed!${NORMAL}"
    fi
    log_end_msg_post "$@"
    return $retval
}
