Okay, here's what I found.

ActiveView::Base.field_error_proc has two parameters, the HTML output 
followed by the actual object itself.  Then, field_error_proc is called 
within a function within the InstanceTag object which passes itself to 
the error procedure.

InstanceTag is not documented, so I'm left with scrounging what I can 
get from the source code.  Between active_record_helper.rb and 
form_helper.rb I have a decent reference.

One problem: the error handler is not aware of the options passed to the 
InstanceTag.  So, I cannot actually modify the class option and 
regenerate the tag.  (Not without modifying the source, which I'm not 
comfortable with doing yet.)  So... gsub here I come.

Here's what I have:

-----
# I put this in the top of application.rb, where should it go?
ActionView::Base.field_error_proc = Proc.new do |html, instance_tag|
  if html.match(/class=(\'|\")([\w\s\d]*?)\1/i)
    html.gsub(/class=(\'|\")([\w\s\d]*?)\1/i, 'class="\2 
fieldWithErrors"')
  else
    html.gsub(/\<[\w]+/i, '\0 class="fieldWithErrors"')
  end
end

yields:
  <input class="fieldWithErrors"
  <input class="myClass fieldWithErrors"
