The creation of this new ARF type comprises a bunch of extension fields and 
their definitions, and little else.  Therefore, "Extension ARF Fields for 
Authentication Failure Reporting" seems perfectly good.  Similarly, the 
document recognizes five specific types of authentication failures about which 
reports can be generated, and thus the title "Authentication Failure Types" 
seems a perfectly good title for a section in which to enumerate them.

I fail to see how either of these are wrong at all, let alone seriously.

My solution is to use John's suggestion and make no other changes, absent any 
consensus that pushes for what you're suggesting.  Otherwise, we can die 
nitting on this minor stuff and never get it out the door.

The third part of the report only contains the header of the message causing 
the report to be generated, which RFC5965 allows.  Presumably, then, the 
reported URI came from someplace in the body of the message, which isn't shown 
here (and doesn't need to be, by ARF's definitions).
