I don't understand what the purpose of this is.

I thought that the way to "seal" a key to a TPM PCR is to include the PCR in the
"policy".

Are you doing that too?  What is the purpose of using the "creation data"?

This is struct tpm2_null_auth_area, so this is another place that could take
advantage of a new helper function to append it.

So the first two bytes of creation_hash are a redundant length field that needs
to be ignored here?  Perhaps tpm2_key_encode() shouldn't include that redundant
length field?

This is another instance of the bug where a positive TPM2_RC_* code is being
returned from a function that is supposed to return a negative errno value.
