by saying "Home Run" you imply that it was ruled a hit, so then no it cannot be an error on the play. However, there are situations where a batter can round the bases and people call it a "Home Run" when in actuallity there was an error on the play so it goes down officially as a 4-base error (i.e a fielder is standing on the warning track and the ball bounces out of his glove and goes over the fence) -- this examply would not technically be a "home run", but that is more then likely what fans will call it

Three runs have scored, but no earned runs are charged to Peter, because Charlie should have been the third out of the inning as resconstructed without the error.
