This was added to 6.x and backported to 5.x.  See the issue
http://drupal.org/node/232037 for more details.

A little sleuthing in cvs found the specific commit.  It was committed
to 5.x between 5.7 and 5.8:

http://cvs.drupal.org/viewvc.py/drupal/drupal/modules/block/block.module?view=log#rev1.246.2.8

So, if your site renders blocks on 404s then you are running an out of
date version of Drupal core.  Which is behind on features/bugs and
possibly security patches.
