I have one of those frame alignment tools that span the HS and ST with an adjustment at the end to touch the outside of the DO to check rear triangle alignment. The frame is good in that respect.
I like the suggestion of a hole and peening!
I will consider the filing of the DS too. Visually, I can't decern much of a difference. I has to be really small.
Yes, everything else lines up
I can't say for sure, but overall I have found TI frames - especially the many, many Litespeeds I have owned and worked on - are incredibly well aligned and square.
We don't know why someone put solder on the one dropout, but half the time when people do stuff like that it is because they didn't realize their wheel is out of dish.
I'd strongly recommend trying a different wheel(s), and put it in normal and backwards to observe the centering. If the wheel is in dish, it will look identical by the BB in either orientation.
I can't find any reference to Pinarello ever using asymmetric wheels. Cannondale has done that, but not Pinarello.
