With the risk of being redundant here is what I can contribute:

"errordialog" appears in three places of the MC_IDE

1. button "File" of Metacard Menu Bar

on errorDialog
  close stack "Saving"
  unlock error dialogs
  pass errorDialog
 end errorDialog

2. button "newobj" of menubar

on errorDialog which
   set the executionerror of card 1 of stack "Execution Error" to which
   modeless "Execution Error"
   send "refresh" to card 1 of stack "Execution Error"
 end errorDialog

3. script of stack "execution error"

 on errorDialog which
   put which
   set the executionerror of card 1 of stack "Execution Error" to which
   modeless "Execution Error"
   send "refresh" to card 1 of stack "Execution Error"
 end errorDialog

"Errordialog" itself is not defined anywhere in the IDE, so what "which" 
could contain cannot be found here.

Errordialog is indeed defined in the engine (make a textsearch of the 
engine with a word processor), which means that contrary to what 
Jacqueline quoted from Tuviah (see above) there must have been changes 
with respect to error codes in the engine.
