How much broken HTML do you get?
It's possible that the response has already been committed to the
client and there's no way to show the error page instead.
Check your log files for "Response already committed" or related errors.

Correct.

If this is a bug, it's in your webapp: you generate too much content
before you have any errors.

Several options (I'm sure there are more):
1. Don't throw exceptions ;)
2. Increase your output buffer (negative performance considerations)
3. Buffer the *entire* response (negative performance considerations,
requires additional code)
Honestly, #1 is the best policy IMO, since you really should have all
of your dangerous activities out of the way before you start
generating a response.

I don't know how you will correct malformed HTML in that case.
