I am setting up appendices like suggested in the answer to this question:

Appendix - Adding PDF, using the MWE suggested by cfr:

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{geometry}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{pdfpages}
\usepackage{xparse}
\usepackage{kantlipsum}

\makeatletter
\NewDocumentCommand\headerspdf{ O {pages=-} m }{% [options for include pdf]{filename.pdf}
  \includepdf[%
    #1,
    pagecommand={\thispagestyle{fancy}},
    scale=.7,
    ]{#2}}
\NewDocumentCommand\secpdf{somO{1}m}{% [short title]{section title}[page specification]{filename.pdf} --- possibly starred
  \clearpage
  \thispagestyle{fancy}%
  \includepdf[%
    pages=#4,
    pagecommand={%
      \IfBooleanTF{#1}{%
        \section*{#3}}{%
        \IfNoValueTF{#2}{%
          \section{#3}}{%
          \section[#2]{#3}}}},
    scale=.65,
    ]%
    {#5}}
\makeatother

\pagestyle{fancy}

\begin{document}

Reference to my appendix \ref{secpdf:Test}.

\newpage
\appendix

\secpdf[Short Title]{PDF on Section Page with Short Title}{/usr/local/texlive/2013/texmf-dist/doc/latex/mwe/mwe.pdf}
\label{secpdf:Test}
\kant[3]
\headerspdf[pages=2-3]{/usr/local/texlive/2013/texmf-dist/doc/latex/mwe/mwe.pdf}
\end{document}

It correctly delivers Appendix A in appendix, but now I am having troubles with the cross-referencing. I tried a reference like shown in the example but it does not work properly.

There is a similar case, which I cannot manage to transfer on my case: How to correctly label an included PDF?

    I did not work with xparse so far, but I recognize an unnumbered \section* command by far ;-) This command does not issue an \refstepcounter command, and that's possibly the reason why the label points to some other place. –  Aug 03 '14 at 20:34

    You should add a \end{document} command ;-) –  Aug 03 '14 at 22:10

The source of the problem is pagecommand, as it seems to set the commands into a group, such that \refstepcounter does work for the section counters, but consequent calls to \label can not refer to the correct place.

A quick work around is to reduce the correctly increased section number first with\addtocounter{section}{-1}and then call\refstepcounter{section}outside of the\includepdf` command.

Note, that this is not an option if \section*{} is used, but in this case labelling is of no use anyway, so I did not add extra code to catch this. 

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{geometry}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage[final]{pdfpages}
\usepackage{xparse}
\usepackage{kantlipsum}

\makeatletter
\NewDocumentCommand\headerspdf{ O {pages=-} m }{% [options for include pdf]{filename.pdf}
  \includepdf[%
    #1,
    pagecommand={\thispagestyle{fancy}},
    scale=.7,
    ]{#2}}
\NewDocumentCommand\secpdf{somO{1}m}{% [short title]{section title}[page specification]{filename.pdf} --- possibly starred
  \clearpage
  \thispagestyle{fancy}%
  \includepdf[%
    pages=#4,
    pagecommand={%
     \IfBooleanTF{#1}{%
       \section{#3}}{%
       \IfNoValueTF{#2}{%
         \section{#3}}{%
         \section[#2]{#3}}}%
   },
    scale=.65,
    ]%
    {#5}
    \addtocounter{section}{-1}%
    \refstepcounter{section}%
  }%
\makeatother
