Pure speculation here, but one plausible explanation is that since he was soloing he intentionally did not tie a good knot. He was just hauling the rope up anyway. After setting up the anchor he might have forgotten about that and just asked to be lowered. Lesson: if you are going to haul the rope, do it on your rear haul loop and not on the tie in points. If you are going to tie the rope in front, always do it with a good knot.
