As near as I can tell, rollback only marks edits as patrolled - it doesn't add any info to the patrol log itself, like who patrolled those edits (by virtue of clicking rollback) and at what time.
Documentation added on Meta:Help:Patrolled_edit, where else?

See bug 8697 comment 7 for a description of current behaviour.
I'm not sure this is considered a bug; the log already contains an entry for the auto-patrolling of the revision added by rollback.
I was going to get all unpatrolled edits of an article using api. To do so I first got all needed revisions ('action=query&prop=revisions&titles=...') and then compared the results with patrolled logs. ('action=query&list=logevents&leprop=details&letype=patrol&letitle= ...')
But because of this bug I won't be able to detect edits that are patrolled by rollback.
Do you know a better way to do this?

Patrolled edits are RC properties, ask the RC: [[mw:API:Recentchanges]].

If he's only looking for a specific title, that becomes problematic on something like Wikipedia, since there's no title-specific filter for RC. There was one, briefly, in MW 1.14, but it was removed again in the next version.
On the dutch wikipedia, somebody was confused about not seeing the patrols either. I indeed think this is confusion, so I support logging the patrols separate as well.
