I've said this phrase too often, but "Excuse my ignorance", shouldn't CGMiner display the actual mining rate without having to do calculations?
When I look at my erupters mining, it is displaying 333MHash/s each, plain as day. Why not here?

That's because the implementation of the hashrate meter is driver dependent, and in this case, we didn't write the driver. When we do write the driver, the hashrate displayed is the effective valid hashrate only (i.e. not hardware errors).

What does a hardware error actually represent, is it a fault or something else?

The chip says "here's a share". Cgminer checks it and goes "nope, wrong". That's a hardware error. Could be for any number of reasons, including (worst case scenario) a design flaw.
