Feels to me like GrapheneOS did exactly what it should, passing the US border test with flying colours!

that's sort of the point of it being super basic. The intent is you want it to be tried before they somehow manage to get your actual pin, or give up and try to force you to provide it.

if they put the pin in before you tell them a pin the argument for destroying evidence is weakened heavily as it isn't a you initiated thing.
