Section 4 says:

CRLReason ::= INTEGER

It should say:

IMPORTS
CRLReason
FROM PKIX1Implicit-2009

Notes:

CRLReason is correctly defined in section 14 "ASN.1 Module for RFC 5280, Explicit and Implicit" as:
CRLReason ::= ENUMERATED { … }

It is incorrectly re-defined in section 4 "ASN.1 Module for RFC 2560" (OCSP) as an INTEGER. It should import the correct definition instead.
ENUMERATED and INTEGER are similar, but not the same. They are BER-encoded differently (with a tags of 0x0A and 0x02 respectively).
