The 02/20 and 13/31 RWY ban is valid in Sweden also.
The risk of confusion isn’t in radio transmissions or superstition but 02 looks like 20 when you see it from the other side and vice versa. 13 seen from direction 31 or 31 seen from direction 13 is possible to mix up also. If they where doing some kind of holding over the field they maybe got confused when looking at the marks?
