But now checking I see it's a common US/Canadian pronunciation. It should still spelled "solder" though.

Just another weird pronunciation difference. "Herb" always catches me by surprise too. Now if Americans dropped all their aitches I could understand it, but they seem only to drop it when pronouncing "herb". In the UK, in general, the 'h' isn't silent.
