You can now sort of do this, by combining these:

TpConnectionStatus tp_account_get_connection_status (TpAccount *account,
    TpConnectionStatusReason *reason);
gchar *tp_account_dup_detailed_error_vardict (TpAccount *self,
    GVariant **details);

but that doesn't do the GError mapping. Lower severity, at least, though.

If we add one, we should give these a similar treatment:

TpConnectionStatus tp_connection_get_status (TpConnection *self,
    TpConnectionStatusReason *reason);
gchar *tp_connection_dup_detailed_error_vardict (TpConnection *self,
    GVariant **details) G_GNUC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT;

It might even be nice to have something more like this:

    /* returns TRUE if still extant, FALSE if invalidated */
    gboolean tp_proxy_check_error (gpointer, GError **);

    /* returns TRUE if connecting or connected, FALSE with error
       if disconnected */
    gboolean tp_account_check_connection_error (TpAccount *, GError **);

so you can do this in g-i languages:

    try:
        account.check_connection_error()
    except Exception as e:
        print(e)

    try:
        connection.check_error()
    except Exception as e:
        print(e)
