I am now on the SUCCESS side of the fence. Does it need to be clarified as an errata? I would suggest (from 3.0 clean doc):

page 580, line 41: 
In this case, the routine returns MPI_SUCCESS if all variables are started successfully, otherwise MPI_T_ERR_PVAR_NO_STARTSTOP is returned. MPI_SUCCESS is also returned if no handles are valid for session and MPI_T_PVAR_ALL_HANDLES is passed in handle. 

Same for 581, line 13 and page 582, line 25.
