Weird. I've never ran into an issue adding a PPA. Some repos hosted elsewhere, yeah, but never a PPA from Launchpad.
Pretty interesting about the apt-pinning that Mint does, but like I said, it makes sense since it's using a base distro. I've just never seen it anywhere where it needed to be treated any differently than a regular Ubuntu box as far as adding repos goes though.

Anyway, you were right with your pinning hypothesis:
