I can't reproduce your problem: 

% time /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H google.de
-t 20 
CHECK_NRPE: Socket timeout after 20 seconds.
/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H google.de -t 20  0.00s user 0.00s
system 0% cpu 20.007 total
time /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H google.de
-t 5
CHECK_NRPE: Socket timeout after 5 seconds.
/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H google.de -t 5  0.00s user 0.00s system
0% cpu 5.007 total

/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H google.de -t 5 -u  0.00s user 0.00s

% echo $?
3

this one also looks good. (yeah I also tried together with -c and -a).
Can you tell me how to reproduce the problem?

Thanks in advance
