Thanks Otto, it is a nice trick. Unfortunately I have already duplicated the
whole wp-login.php to my plugin with AJAX... Also I had to change the
user_login field label. But in next project I'll take you approach.

I also had a look to registration_redirect filter witch unfortunately does
not get errors ... But i may be able to use the registration_errors filter.
(Also a wp_registration_form function is "missing")

Concerning password reset, I do not see any filter to catch errors...

I think the whole login/registration system in wordpress should be more
flexible.
