If your CFI gave you a solo endorsement you technically weren't legal to fly solo or act as PIC because its the wrong endorsement. The solo endorsement is only for a student pilot. Once you become a certificated pilot you have to have a PIC endoresement for aircraft your not rated to fly while doing the training to fly it solo or for the checkride.
I would bet that if the training was not endorsed or logged properly the DPE just didn't catch it.
exactly... not sure why he would give you a "solo endorsement" when you are already a certified pilot and this is an add-on rating. Many insurance companies flat out will not insure a flight school if they let students solo multi/complex aircraft. So they came up with "supervised solo" time to get around the insurance companies. You should not of logged that as PIC until you were a certified multi-engine pilot.
