I think it is more accurate to say (none / 0) (#3)

that it is never reversible error to refuse to give a jury nullification instruction.

Pattern instructions in my state emphasize obligations jurors have to follow the law as it's given to them. Any jury nullification would contradict that instruction, so it's easy to see why such instructions are never given. Jurors have to know about it, or be told about it in other ways, or be so irascible that they will ignore the follow the law instruction.
