Nice puzzle and an even nicer solution, yes.
If anyone is interested I solved it this way:
SPOILER BELOW HERE!
Over time each coin will do a sequence of
head - tail - x tails - head - tail - x tails ...
where x is determined by chance.
Flipping a coin repeatedly the number of tails to expect before a head is 1 tail.
So on average the sequence of each coin is
H - T - T - H - T - T ...
i.e. when stabilized 1/3 of the coins are heads up and 2/3 are tails up.
