I have had that happen too. The last time was with an NSB train ticket 
machine in Lillestrøm. This was a regular non-chip MasterCard and when
I later asked the card company about this they told me "the machine
probably did not recognize your card properly". If you are actually
BUYING stuff, then entering the US PIN is futile since it is not set
up to do anything beyond giving you a cash advance.
