Hmm, sounds like I might not be able to trigger it on my end. If that's the case, the fact that PIN bypass is possible might not be that big of a deal in practice since merchants aren't really being trained in how to use their terminals properly anyway.
Interesting note:
First Data doesn't even mention that PIN is possible for a credit transaction even though they do mention inserting and tapping.
