I believe all of those issues could just raise the normal exception, because Finder treats them as normal errors--that is, rather than giving you the special "can't trash; delete?" message, it tries, fails, asks you to authenticate as an administrator, and tries again.
That doesn't make sense - the problem is with the state of the trash directory (it may be in a state that you can access, but the "wrong" one, e.g. one that would allow other people to delete your files - I don't know if this is a problem for OSX but it is for XDG), not your access to the file being deleted.
