I can't remember if branches using TCP that fail to establish a connection generate a 408 Timeout response or not (eventually). I know I have seen them on the registrar servers when the edge/outbound proxy has failed (in certain tests e.g. when a 430 is not returned), but they might have been locally generated.

If an immediate error is detected, like a TCP connection failure, perhaps a different 'fake' reply, similar to timeout could be generated and sent through the reply handling code for that UAC. This would trigger the branch_failure route and also the failure route when all replies are received, allowing faster response handling instead of timeouts.

perhaps something similar to t_reply()/run_branch_failure_handlers()
could be done in t_send_branch() when sending fails?  i'm pretty sure
that t->on_branch_failure is set in t_send_branch().  it is thus the
matter on getting the corresponding tm:branch_failure block executed.
