Try something like this:

    server {
        listen 80;

        error_page 403 /403.html;

        location / {
            if ($blocked) {
                return 403;
            }

            ...
        }

        location = /403.html {
            # no geoip restrictions here
        }
    }

With such a configuration GeoIP-based restrictions are only 
applied in "location /", but doesn't affect requests to /403.html.
That is, nginx will be able to return the error page correctly.
