WHM isn't a qualifying immigration category (for settlement), so the letter you have received stating that you have been deemed free of immigration time restriction since June 2010 has been issued in error (incompetence of the caseworker).
If it is the case that UKBA cannot rectify any error regarding an (already issued) endorsement if and when they discover the error, then you may make an application for naturalisation in June 2011 (one year from the day you are deemed free of immigration time restriction) on the basis of this letter.
But, if UKBA discovers the error and has the legal authority to rectify the mistake, then if you make an application for naturalisation and the caseworker notices that the letter has been wrongly issued, then your naturalisation application may be refused. In such case, whether or not you'll be entitled to a (naturalisation application fees) refund is something I cannot comment on.
