I replaced the line
        { errordict /undefinedresult get exec } if
by
        {(this is an object) errordict/undefinedresult get exec} if
and got the result

Error: /undefinedresult in (this is an object)

GPL Ghostscript 9.05: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1


BTW, the "correct" way of calling the error handler with Ghostscript is

error_object /error_name signalerror .
