How is this in general true?

It isn't. For instance, rcond(hilb(10)) is less than 1e-12, but hilb(10) is not nilpotent.

As an addendum, this remains untrue even if you ignore floating-point issues and test (mathematically, rather than programmatically) whether rcond(A) is equal to 0. The matrix A=[1 0; 0 0] has rcond(A) equal to zero, but it is not nilpotent.
