That's quite strange. I've just tried our test of admin-client for 
duplicated user and it's possible to retrieve underlying 
ErrorRepresentation and error message from ClientErrorException without 
issues. See 
https://github.com/mposolda/keycloak/blob/master/testsuite/integration/src/test/java/org/keycloak/testsuite/admin/UserTest.java#L49 
. So not sure why it's not working for you.
