I was able to repro this trivially.  Your analysis was nearly right.
I have just pushed the fix below, which should sort it out I think.

tools/hotplug: Fix hotplug hook script arrangements not to always fail

The new feature introduced in 23401:a44b12ee2fd3 was broken; it in
general always fails, at least if there are no hotplug scripts.

If there are no hooks, call_hooks ends up running this:
  [ -x ".....*.hook" ] && . "..... *.hook"

This does not directly trigger set -e and sigerr.  However, it is the
last command exected in call_hooks.  So the return status of
call_hooks is an error, and thus a sigerr happens when call_hooks
returns.

The bug affects xl and xm.  However xl does not detect failure of the
hotplug script.

Change the script to use if...then rather than &&, as the latter has
very confusing and undesirable semantics.
