Works just fine for me, unless I misunderstood something.

$ /cygdrive/c/Users/Csaba/Downloads/test.sh
+ cat
+ g++ test.cc
+ [[ -x a.exe ]]
+ ./a.exe
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
  what():  Test error
/cygdrive/c/Users/Csaba/Downloads/test.sh: line 21:   641 Aborted
           (core dumped) ./a.exe
+ rc=134
+ ((  rc == 0  ))
+ echo 'Expected non-zero return code received: 134'
Expected non-zero return code received: 134
+ exit 0

The if goes in the "else" case because rc is not 0, as it should be.
(shoudn't the condition be $rc == 0 ?)
After

$ diff -u /cygdrive/c/Users/Csaba/Downloads/test.sh test.sh

 fi

-if (( rc == 0 )); then
+if [[ $rc == 0 ]]
+then
        echo 'Unexpected zero return code from execution'
        exit 1
 else

I get

$ ./test.sh

+ g++ test.cc
+ [[ -x a.exe ]]
+ ./a.exe
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
  what():  Test error

+ echo 'Expected non-zero return code received: 134'
Expected non-zero return code received: 134
+ exit 0
