'pass grep' opens every encrypted file to look for the searched pattern.
pass doesn't know you use a smartcard for your private key. Every time
you cancel the question box, pass invokes gpg for the next file and gpg
asks again for your card.

Because pass then only invokes gpg once.

Perhaps pass grep should stop after the first failure to decrypt a file,
but I think this would be wrong, as it could be intented that in a
shared passwordstore some files are not encrypted for a part of the
different users.

I would say [WONTFIX].
