"Otherwise" in the routing is looking for a client side route. You can probably direct otherwise to a separate route on the client side with a controller that automatically redirects to a server route.

 .otherwise('/ControllerThatSendsToServer');

Then in the ControllerThatSendsToServer just do a window.location = 'server error page';
