Same experience and on several occasions. Last one only few weekends ago:

Entered France in London on Friday morning [Eurostar terminal], policeman didn't swipe or stamp my passport.

Upon leaving Luxembourg airport on Sunday late afternoon, policeman flipped through my passport [with quite a few Schengen stamps in it], asked me when and where did I enter, and after me telling him about Eurostar, just stamped it with an exit stamp.

I have been in quite a few situations where I got stamped on entry, but not on exit and vice versa. I even had a [wrong] stamp where it looked like I stayed a year and 3 days, instead of only 3 days

Worst culprits - French police.
