I think you got that reversed. The trees grafted high on trifoliate couldn't be protected by banking soil past the graft and they froze out. The ones grafted low survived because the graft was covered by soil and didn't freeze.
Seriously, there is no consensus that grafting high makes the tree more cold hardy. I graft as low as possible to make soil banking easier.
