421 is actually the right response code when the server is sure that
it is not authoritative for an origin.  However, this is case where
the server probably IS authoritative, we just want the resource to not
exist. (If you accept the premise, I don't think that it's a necessary
change, see Patrick's email about who is being protected).

I disagree.  The point of all this mucking around is to make it clear
that special behaviour is permitted, making https requests over an
authenticated TLS connection is perfectly normal and expected.
