Thanks for the report.
Outch, yes, unlike in other places, return_val is set to false
unconditionally in copy_reg():
+ else if (x->explicit_no_preserve_mode)
+ {
+ set_acl (dst_name, dest_desc, 0666 & ~cached_umask ());
+ return_val = false;
+ }
And furthermore, the test preserve-mode.sh which would have
detected this error, don't check cp's exit code ;-(
Here's a proposed patch.
Have a nice day,
Berny

Subject: [PATCH] cp: fix --no-preserve=mode to not exit 1
cp --no-preserve=mode exited 1 unconditionally. Furthermore,
the tests which would have detected this error - namely
link-preserve.sh and reserve-mode.sh - failed to test
cp's exit code.
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): In the case x->explicit_no_preserve_mode,
do only set return_val to false iff the previous set_acl ()
failed.
* tests/cp/link-preserve.sh: Check cp's exit code.
* tests/cp/link-symlink.sh: Likewise.
* tests/cp/preserve-mode.sh: Likewise.
* NEWS: Mention the fix.
Bug introduced in commit v8.19-145-g24ebca6.
Reported by Florian Pritz in http://bugs.gnu.org/13119.

** Bug fixes
+ cp --no-preserve=mode now no longer exits non-zero.
+ [bug introduced in coreutils-8.20]
+
cut no longer accepts the invalid range 0-, which made it print empty lines.
Instead, cut now fails and emits an appropriate diagnostic.
[This bug was present in "the beginning".]
