I've done the same thing, and the way I solved this issue was by putting my external authentication functionality into a Macro in the VPE and then based on AD auth/failure either exiting the macro or setting a Loop endpoint that would loop through the macro up to 3 times. I also set a custom variable I add to the external logon page URL to specify which error message to display. It's hacky, but it works well.

My better suggestion would be to customize the APM login page, which is fairly straightforward (). You can go into the login page through 

Access Policy
> 
Customization
> 
Advanced
> Change 
Edit Mode
to 
Advanced
 > Access Profiles > [Policy Name]. From there you can drill down to find different files and customize them.
