Many time passed, but now seems issue is solved. I will share some my findings, can be useful for others, as officials are not active here.
What helps: updated FW to latest and change to another PD charger, another model.
During search a solution found some interesting information:
link - sometimes PD charger's IC can communicate with issues.
link - similar.
link - Pinecill needs PD charger with grounded core. Was old FW, I tried to ground my soldering iron as recomended, but this did not help. But stable work was achieved with another car PD charger connected to 12V battery. Also stable work was with original 65W PD charger with ground cord from my Lenovo laptop.
I would like to mention here, that most of the PD chargers have not ground core, they are wall chargers with 2 lines.
link - as we can see now, Pinecil is very dependent from type of PD charger conditions. Some PD chargers can refuse to support 20V PD mode for soldering iron, while they perfectly works with another devices.
In my case, I bought new cheap PD 65W GaN charger from Asometech at Aliexpress (6.08$), and it works fine with latest FW in Pinecill V2: link
