See this exchange from the whatwg list:
http://lists.whatwg.org/pipermail/whatwg-whatwg.org/2010-April/025942.html
http://lists.whatwg.org/pipermail/whatwg-whatwg.org/2010-August/027673.html

As far as I can tell, the onerror callback is only invoked if the UA is 
required to "fail the connection" or "close the connection with 
prejudice" (see the last algorithm in this section: 
http://dev.w3.org/html5/websockets/#feedback-from-the-protocol), not 
when sending a message to an already-closed connection.
