I'm using the following piece of code as a work-around:

    begin try
      (* This succeeds only if the socket is connected *)
      ignore (Unix.getpeername fd)
    with Unix.Unix_error (Unix.ENOTCONN, _, _) ->
      (* This returns the right error message *)
      ignore (Unix.read fd " " 0 1))
    end
