The documentation (page 196 of the PDF version, at
http://www.exim.org/exim-pdf-current/doc/spec.pdf), implies the answer is YES.
"If an address for which errors_to has been set ends up being delivered over SMTP, the envelope sender for that delivery is the errors_to value, so that any bounces that are generated by other MTAs on the delivery route are also sent there."
It also talks about re-instating the return path by setting return_path, so I suspect it does update return_path (the variable), but not $return_path which is the value of the variable.
