Your expectations would have been met if everything had been done
correctly in the library and the 700/X terminal.  The problem was due to
poor coordination between the two groups developing the servers and
library.  I believe this will be corrected in a future release of the
700/X server.  The problem is that the 700/X implements _some_ of the
extension, so the library doesn't return -1 as it would on a
non-supporting server, but the 700/X doesn't support this particular
request (minor op-code) within the extension.
