I think there's general agreement that it should take ExceptionCode 18 on  
DOMException. You should be able to catch it as follows, fwiw:

   try {
     ...
   } catch(e) {
     switch(e.code) {
       case e.SECURITY_ERR:
       ...
     }
   }

if I haven't mixed up the syntax of the switch case construct in some way.
