Comment (by DD32):

 > Got a HTTP/1.x 200 OK header, not a 500.

 just rechecked, status_header() requires the filters to be loaded, and for
 the wp-includes/vars.php to be included as well(for the status desc.).

 So, it doesnt look like its possible at this stage of the code(before DB
 is connected) to rely on status_header().
 which leaves 2 options, hard code a 500 error into wp_die(), or hard code
 a 500 error(and duplicate the wp_die() html) into wp-db.php

 i'll attach a patch which uses status_header() if hooks are loaded, else,
 hard code to 500
