Is it certain that they encrypt the symmetric key with a hash derived from the alphanumeric one? It is not inconceivable that they assume the secure enclave is secure and just store the symmetric key verbatim. This seems like the only sensible option for PIN, so if you're already doing that, it is very possible they just use the same scheme for the alphanumeric passwords.

It's documented to be PBKDF2; Google "ios key tangle".
