Got a different exception? So far, as near as I can tell, a student pilot
DOES need the tailwheel endorsement for solo flight.

As I just posted (sorry! I'm late to this thread), I didn't have it
until after I'd gotten my certificate. But I suspect this was an
oversight.

If you-all like, I'll ask the instructors at the airport, which does
all its primary training in Cubs.

Note however that even when flying solo, the student is under the
supervision of the instructor, so that may obviate the need for the
endorsement. In my case, the instructor (now a friend) actually drove
up from the neighboring state on each of my cross-country solo flights
and sat around the airport for hours at no pay; he was that meticulous
about supervising.
