So, right now VisualEditor will recognize all save failures caused by TitleBlacklist, but it will still show only the generic error message. The complete one should appear in notices, though.

The API now also provides information about the exact error message to display (error.message) and the TitleBlacklist rule that matched (error.line), but we probably don't have that message client-side, so we're not trying to display it. Maybe when we can load it (T40280).

I'm going to close this, good enough for me.
