In Mailman/Cgi/Auth.py in the definition of loginpage find

    if msg:
        msg = FontAttr(msg, color='#ff0000', size='+1').Format()

and append

        print '401 Unauthorized\n'

to make it

    if msg:
        msg = FontAttr(msg, color='#ff0000', size='+1').Format()
        print '401 Unauthorized\n'

This is entirely untested, but should work for both failed admin and
admindb logins.
