That is incorrect behavior according to the Javadoc which says:
"Sends an error response to the client using the specified status. The
server defaults to creating the response to look like an HTML-
formatted server error page containing the specified message, setting
the content type to "text/html", leaving cookies and other headers
unmodified. If an error-page declaration has been made for the web
application corresponding to the status code passed in, it will be
served back in preference to the suggested msg parameter."
I.e. the msg goes in the body, not the reason phrase.
