I understand your point, but still don't agree given that my TCP
example is the same case (write() fails but the socket remains open
and you can try to send the same data later).

What do you mean with "there is a hole"?

try {
  socket.send(veryBigData);
}
catch(e) {
  // OK, send later (or poll the socket.bufferedAmount until it is
zero and send then).
  [...]
}

Where is the hole or the data lost in this code? (NOTE: of course I do
know that the rest of the code must be aware of this, may be via
status flags or whatever).
