If you mean the overall GSimpleAsyncResult behaviour; I guess the
reference is still the GLib/GIO API documentation:
http://developer.gnome.org/gio/unstable/GSimpleAsyncResult.html

But note that for new code, GTask is the new better and cleaner
GSimpleAsyncResult replacement:
http://developer.gnome.org/gio/unstable/GTask.html

There's no manual or tutorial just talking about async GIO functions,
AFAIK, I guess you just end up getting used to it...

Offtopic, but do you know where this is documented? Any books, online docs
or api docs to recommend? Is it part of gnome/glibs, or dbus?

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):
