I think the risk of litigation would be much higher, and likely to succeed, if he'd shredded the whole thing. As played, there's zero chance anyone gets sued. This is a win win for all parties involved.
ETA:
There will probably be a lawsuit but it'll be someone thinking their entitled to a larger piece of the pie now that this thing has increased in value so much. I'm sure there were plenty of people who didn't know who Banksy was before this but now everyone knows him. The piece has been enhanced, it's performance art now as well, and it's the result of a huge amount of planning and work by the artist.
We'll find out soon enough. They'll certainly have it x rayed and examined now to determine whether the "jam" was accidental or intentional.
