He may not have mentioned seeing any evidence of leaking but I'd think he's at least mention the state of the improper repairs/patch work. Personally, I see no reason why he should not have make in-depth notes about the condition of the roof. From your post I get the impression that the water damage was not there when the home was inspected so obviously that is a moot point. But the DIY patching of the shingles should have been noted by the inspector on his report as it would be a clear sign of an existing problem. Would he have any liability? Perhaps. This would be for either his insurance company and/or a court to determine. What I _can_ say is that most likely he will deny doing anything wrong and you'd probably have to either file a claim against his carrier or file suit in order to get anything done.
