Not, perhaps, the best answer, and maybe even not possible in your environment, but it may be useful for development, if not production. You could also check the getServerStats functions to see if their stats provide any indication that the server is up/down. And finally, I suspect that you could submit a patch to get a memcache_error() function without TOO much effort...
