Would you be interested in helping design a way to do this?  Heimdal
allows an error string to be stored inside a context and retrieved
later.  That gives you enough flexibility to store the file name etc.

The complexity is that we would need to go through the code and find
every place where we have an error return and at least clear that
string so the error returned always corresponded to the string if it
was set.

Until we have someone who has time to go through all the code and do
that or until we come up with a clever way of doing so incrementally
we're stuck with the current system.
