Huh?  The current code is:

    def __init__ (self, msg=None):
        self.msg = msg or "Access denied"

and, judging by the CVS log, it has been that way since Time
Immemorial.  And it works just fine:

  >>> from quixote.errors import *
  >>> raise AccessError
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "", line 1, in ?
  quixote.errors.AccessError: Access denied

Can you demonstrate how this crashes for you?
