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.

Chuck Norris never uses CHECK when he applies PTFs.
