You cannot mix in the same async method a code execution path using
mm_base_modem_at_command() with another one using GSimpleAsyncResult and
completion in idle.  When you use mm_base_modem_at_command(), in
finish() you're expected to use mm_base_modem_at_command_finish(), like
you did. But when you use GSimpleAsyncResult and completion in idle you
should use g_simple_async_result_propagate_error() in finish(). The fact
that it may work as expected is due to how at_command_finish() is
implemented; but you shouldn't rely on that.

So you'll need to use GSimpleAsyncResult for both cases, i.e. provide a
_ready() GAsyncReadyCallback in mm_base_modem_at_command() to which you
pass 'simple' as user_data; and then complete the 'simple' from within
the _ready() method. In this way, you can safely call
g_simple_async_result_propagate_error() in finish().

See for example:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/ModemManager/ModemManager/tree/plugins/simtech/mm-broadband-modem-simtech.c#n416

And btw, a hint for when you just always need to report an error in idle
in the async method (avoids the need to create a GSimpleAsyncResult
yourself):
