Okay, so take:

typedef NS_ENUM(NSInteger, PKPassKitErrorCode) {
    PKUnknownError = -1,
    PKInvalidDataError = 1,
    PKUnsupportedVersionError,
    PKInvalidSignature,
} NS_ENUM_AVAILABLE_IOS(6_0);

and expand that out based on the latter #define and you get:

typedef NSInteger PKPassKitErrorCode; 

enum {
    PKUnknownError = -1,
    PKInvalidDataError = 1,
    PKUnsupportedVersionError,
    PKInvalidSignature,
} __attribute__((availability(ios,introduced=6.0)));

with the AST

|-TypedefDecl 0x7fe243027a90 <t.m:1:1, col:14> NSInteger 'long'
|-TypedefDecl 0x7fe243027b10 <line:9:1, col:28> PKPassKitErrorCode 'NSInteger':'long'
`-EnumDecl 0x7fe243027b60 <line:6:43, line:14:1>
  |-AvailabilityAttr 0x7fe2430597d0 <col:18, col:49> ios 6.0 0 0 ""
  |-EnumConstantDecl 0x7fe243059670 <line:10:5, col:23> PKUnknownError 'int'
  | `-UnaryOperator 0x7fe243059650 <col:22, col:23> 'int' prefix '-'
  |   `-IntegerLiteral 0x7fe243059630 <col:23> 'int' 1
  |-EnumConstantDecl 0x7fe2430596e0 <line:11:5, col:26> PKInvalidDataError 'int'
  | `-IntegerLiteral 0x7fe2430596c0 <col:26> 'int' 1
  |-EnumConstantDecl 0x7fe243059730 <line:12:5> PKUnsupportedVersionError 'int'
  `-EnumConstantDecl 0x7fe243059780 <line:13:5> PKInvalidSignature 'int'

The availability attribute is (correctly) on the anonymous enum… but there's nothing whatsoever that relates the typedef (PKPassKitErrorCode) to the anonymous enum in the source code. 

Why aren't the two connected? Because PKPassKitErrorCode needs to have the underlying type NSInteger to be sure that it's the right size, and neither straight C nor C++ provide enumerations with a fixed underlying type. C++11 and Objective-C do allow enumerations with a fixed underlying type, so we can address this problem without having to split the typedef from the enum.
