No, you cannot differentiate between those different error states with the current incarnation of these authenticators and helpers. They only produce OK or ERR. If you use debug mode they can produce more output but it is useless for the purpose of integrating with squid.
Actually the internal Squid auth api supports error messages via the %m code in the error pages, but this is only partially implemented.
Extending the helper query/response format to include error messages in ERR responses isn't very hard and quite useful. If you file a bug report for this I'll send you a patch.
