That's the exit code from head.  You can see python or perl's exit
code by adding strace in front (on Linux):

$ strace python -c "for i in range(1000000): print i" | head -5
...
+++ exited with 1 +++

$ strace perl -e 'for (my $i=0; $i< 1000000; $i++) { print "$i\n"; }' | head -5
...
+++ killed by SIGPIPE +++

1000 is not enough... due to buffering, it works.  Try 1000000:

postgres=# create foreign table ft5 (a text) server svf1 options
(program 'ruby -e "for i in 1..1000000 do puts i; end"');
CREATE FOREIGN TABLE
postgres=# select * from ft5 limit 5;
ERROR:  program "ruby -e "for i in 1..1000000 do puts i; end"" failed
DETAIL:  child process exited with exit code 1
