Comment (by daghf):

 This is a documentation issue. Thanks to Federico G. Schwindt for
 providing a patch.

 That said - do you have a specific use case for a problem that cannot be
 solved without doing error from vcl_deliver?

 The reason error from vcl_deliver is invalid is because vcl_error goes to
 vcl_deliver, so one might end up with unwanted looping. Rather than adding
 in extra complexity for dealing with this, it is simply decided that you
 can't error from vcl_deliver.

 The typical "hack"/workaround for this is to set some flag like req.http.x
 -do-error, issue a return(restart) and then error from vcl_recv.
