Comment (by JustinSainton):

 Actually, unless I'm mis-reading something, all of the errors returned by
 wp_authenticate_username_password contain HTML (at least the <strong>
 ERROR: </strong>, if not also a link).  All of them except for
 blog_suspended, at least.

 Any thoughts on approach?  Could preg_replace or strip_tags - but both
 would end up hacky.  We could map the error codes to non-HTML versions.
 Or we could just keep it as-is.

 FWIW, the reason I used the filter in my initial approach rather than
 Sergey's approach was because my understanding was that you needed to add
 a custom error message for an application key, rather than return the
 message directly from the WP_Error object.
