May be you are true. But I don't see the similar sentence in the SUSv3.
What I used is following:

ERRORS

    The fdopen() function may fail if:
...
    [EMFILE]
        {FOPEN_MAX} streams are currently open in the calling process.
    [EMFILE]
        {STREAM_MAX} streams are currently open in the calling process.
