It sounds like that input had a lot of noise with the gain turned up and nothing terminating it so it was just pumping noise into the headphone out.

Absolutely, especially if nothing is plugged in to it. I suspect that if something was plugged in with an impedance that was optimal the noise floor would drop, but if it is just an open circuit there's no harm in leaving the gain down.
