Server.GetLastError and the Application_Error event not working on certain pages

I don't think you need to have the login page identified in
a location element in web.config. If you are using forms
authentication, you should be able to do the following:

                <authentication
mode="Forms">
                        <forms
requireSSL="false"
                               
slidingExpiration="true"
                               
loginUrl="login.aspx"
                               
name="AuthenticationTicket"
                                protection="All"
                                timeout="20" />
                </authentication>

and

                <authorization>
                        <deny users="?" />
                        <allow users="*" />
<!-- Allow all users -->
                </authorization>

in which case an exception would get caught by the global
error handler.
