Hello, on what version did you try this? I've tried this now on 
Linux-2.4.18 and Linux-2.4.19 and both give the behaviour i described 
previously (No POLLOUT set).

The simple test program i used is as follows:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <sys/poll.h>
#include <sys/select.h>
#include <errno.h>

main(int argc, char **argv) {
    int sd,flags,stat,len=sizeof(int);
    struct sockaddr_in sin;
    struct pollfd pfd;

    memset(&sin, 0, sizeof(sin));

    sd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
    fcntl(sd, F_SETFL, fcntl(sd, F_GETFL, 0) | O_NONBLOCK);

    sin.sin_addr.s_addr = htonl(0x7f000001);
    sin.sin_port = htons(atoi(argv[1]));
    sin.sin_family = AF_INET;

    if(connect(sd, (struct sockaddr *)&sin, sizeof(sin)) == -1 && errno == 
EINPROGRESS)
        printf("connect returned EINPROGRESS\n");

    pfd.fd = sd;
    pfd.events = POLLIN | POLLOUT;
    pfd.revents = 0;

    poll(&pfd, 1, -1);
    getsockopt(sd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_ERROR, &stat, &len);
    printf("%s\n", stat ? "failed" : "succeeded");
    printf("returned events: %hd\n", pfd.revents);
}
