Toan,
What arguments did you pass to gRT->SetVariable()?
What implementation did you test on?
In general there are "wiggle words" in the UEFI Spec that make it legal to return other error codes. Back in the day when NOR FLASH was expensive and EFI was size constrained we did not want to have to filter every return value from a lower level to convert it to a spec required return code.
Thanks,
Andrew Fish
