When I say no speed limit, I only mean that we don't know of any restriction (such as speed of light) on the rate of inflation. It didn't move with infinite speed.

And yes, the still accelerating expansion of spacetime complicates the equations further.

Firstly, "Inflation", as in Inflation Theory, a theory having to do only with the first near-infinite fraction of a second at the very beginning, is a still highly controversial idea, among many in the field. Secondly, yes, space-time itself, according to theory, does not follow the "nothing can travel faster than light" rules, because it doesn't involve a physical (mass-containing) object traveling through space.

And yes, the still accelerating expansion of space-time complicates the equations further.

That it certainly does.
