If the KDC knows that the principal cannot authenticate using PKINIT, I
don't think it should offer PKINIT at all.  Right now, the MIT KDC
doesn't know what principals have client certificates issued to them (if
any), so it offers PKINIT to all principals if the KDC is configured
with a KDC cert.  But that's an implementation issue.
