I'm guessing your error handler is in the same directory that you're 
blocking, so Apache isn't letting you anywhere near executing the PHP 
code inside your PHP error handler script.

Put your error handler in the top most directory of the document root, 
say "/auth_error.php".  In directories you want protected, have the 
following in your .htaccess files:

    ErrorDocument 401 /auth_error.php
    ErrorDocument 403 /auth_error.php
