It is just a matter to be coherent with each part. If the EAP authentication is 
successful why do not to state so?

Precisely because of that, I believe EAP success should reach the EAP peer 
state machine. If the authentication is succesful the EAP success should reach 
the EAP state machine to move it to the final state. And if the authorization 
is not, the error code Authorization fail is sent in the GSS-EAP.
