After testing I have experienced the following (using iPhone 5 running iOS 6.1 beta 4)

in summary there are two issues;

Your webservice is sending an invalid response to https://ap.loc.sh/passbook/?couponId=486/v1/devices/5bca731a5779527c406213e9a847de97/registrations/pass.socialPoint.passbook/486 (this should return an array of serial numbers, but just returns 1111)
The pass that is being sent via your web service contains invalid data.

The following are steps were taken to diagnose your problem, I have also included excerpts from the device console log.

The pkpass bundle successfully adds to Passbook
The pass successfully registers with your web service

The device then attempts to retrieve the serial numbers for all passes of the same certificate (pass.socialPoint.passbook) - this is a standard part of the registration in case the pass data is stale and needs to be refreshed.

the device receives an invalid response, but will continue to retry.
Manually refreshing the pass, reveals another error:

        );
    }

It seems as the pass.json of the second pass that your webservice is sending is incorrect.

Upon examining pass.json, there appears to be an error after the locations key:

{
  "formatVersion" : 1,
  "passTypeIdentifier" : "pass.socialPoint.passbook",
  "serialNumber" : "",
  "teamIdentifier" : "9TS732CS23",
