Thanks Anders, I actually ran into an issue with that exact chunk of code doing WIF integration and it solved the problem there, but doesn't here.

In my current implementation I've overridden and added breakpoints to the base implementation calls of both the AccessDenied and the GetPage functions.  GetPage throws an AccessDenied exception, however, AccessDenied is never called.

public override void AccessDenied()
{
    base.AccessDenied();
}

public override PageData GetPage(PageReference pageLink)
{
    return base.GetPage(pageLink);
}

I can hit the breakpoint on return base.GetPage but never on AccessDenied. If I catch the AccessDenied exception in GetPage I can redirect them to the AccessDenied page.
