It's actually the subsequent 'adb shell' which is producing the protocol
fault error:

$ adb wait-for-device && echo $? && adb shell
0
error: protocol fault (no status)
$ echo $?
1

'adb help' describes wait-for-device as, "block until device is online".
The meaning of 'online' however is not defined. It either means:

(1) the device has reached some sequence point in its boot path.
(2) the device is ready to accept 'adb shell' connections.

I'm guessing it actually means (1). However, users would expect it to
mean (2) to be useful.

A rather awful work-around for current behaviour:

$ adb wait-for-device && while ! adb shell true; do sleep 1; done && adb
shell


** Summary changed:

- 'adb wait-for-device' returns too early
+ 'adb wait-for-device' returns too early causing subsequent 'adb shell' to report "error: protocol fault (no status)"
