Fallback via error_page should work ok for subrequests. It may be
disabled from post_subrequest handler though: if you use it and
return something like NGX_OK from there (i.e. not NGX_HTTP_...
error), error_page handling won't be executed assuming you've
handled problem yourself.

Take a look at ngx_http_finalize_request(), it's more or less
clear how it works. Relevant parts are:

if (r != r->main && r->post_subrequest) {
rc = r->post_subrequest->handler(r, r->post_subrequest->data, rc);
}
...
if (rc >= NGX_HTTP_SPECIAL_RESPONSE
|| rc == NGX_HTTP_CREATED
|| rc == NGX_HTTP_NO_CONTENT)
{
...
ngx_http_finalize_request(r, ngx_http_special_response_handler(r, rc));
return;
}

(ngx_http_special_response_handler() is where actual error_page handling
happens).
