It's up to you to catch the error and call action_tempfail (or whatever
you deem appropriate for handling the error.)

You also need to remember that it happened and make filter and filter_end
do nothing.  Since filter_begin/filter/filter_end are all called in the
same process, it's safe to remember that an error happened in a global
variable.
