Hab mich diesbezüglich mal an TI gewandt, hier die Antwort, vielleicht
interessiert das ja auch den einen oder anderen:

The LCD module is thought only to be used to control an LCD. Therefore
it is attached to a timer input, and the line oscillates between Vdd
and Vcc. Switching the timer off may make it possible to use them as an
standard I/O pin, but this functionality is not supported and is out of
the specifications, meaning that we cannot guarantee that it works now
or that it will work in future silicon revisions.
You should use the standard I/O pins for this, always taking into
present that if you drive more than +-2 mA from any of the device pin,
you will go over the maximum absolute ratings, therefore damage the
device.

werd das dann bei Zeiten mal ausprobieren...
