Shortly after that ban was implemented, there was an exemption for these trips, so it's possible that these trips also were exempted from the test requirement.

The rules are changing so that you no longer need a recent test when arriving from a Nordic country, so Danes will no longer need to present a test at the Swedish border.
The Swedish rules changing for at least Danes, Norwegians and Finns is about no longer conditioning their entry to Sweden upon a general requirement to meet Sweden’s COVID-19 test requirement prior to and on arrival.

Claiming to go to/from Bornholm has not been a guaranteed way for Danes to avoid meeting the Swedish test requirement applicable to most Danes this year. Even this month, transiting Danes generally have still had to show Swedish border control timely negative COVID-19 test results in order to transit Sweden to get to Bornholm. Even this (past) weekend.
