It might just be a tagged value of the transportation platform (like covered=yes), but unmapped. 

Or perhaps, since the barrier is quite long is places (100m in Tokyo) and 2/3rds of it is a unmoving wall, perhaps putting it in barrier=* is a good idea, like barrier=platform_protection or similar. Some of the barriers are whole walls with doors in the walls (Korea), or a low wall/fence you can put your elbows on top of, with sliding gates that are also about 1m tall.

Map it as a way along the edge of the platform polygon, and you could use nodes for the doors and add ref=* as necessary for the door positions (they are all labeled in Tokyo) platform_protection=gate or similar to keep it out of the normal barrier=gate.
