Doesn't the process for security/integrity violations include creating an APAR? If so, shouldn't any PTF with hold class SECINT also have an ERROR hold with the relevant APAR number?

In theory, yes. In practice, I'm not sure. But I think your question reinforces the benefit of registering for the IBM Z Security Portal and regularly obtaining the HOLDDDATA.
