It sounds unlikely to me that they don't work with 2.0, because 2.0
support has been there for a decade.

If I understand correctly their tests use their own pinentry program for
2.0 and 2.1:
https://git.gnupg.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=gpgme.git;a=blob;f=tests/gpg/pinentry
https://git.gnupg.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=gpgme.git;a=blob;f=tests/gpg/Makefile.am;h=8e26a92f0c54ce3c76e63e223ce034dea11d6e71;hb=HEAD#l115

If your goal is to make epg tests work with all gpg versions, this could
be an option worth considering.
