Only if you can determine that an error occurred.  In the case of a
bad privacy password this doesn't happen.  You get garbage for the
scopedPDU which is then passed back up and the message processor
(another SNMPv3 module in the architecture) tries to parse the
ASN.1/BER and fails and drops the message (incrementing a counter in
the process).  No error is sent on parse errors.

USM actually completes everything successfully.
