I stand corrected by Michael, this is indeed the case with the current state of md raid 10. Either my observations were incorrect when I made them a year and a half ago, or some fixes went into the kernel since then.
In any way - linux md10 does behave exactly as a classic raid 1+0 when created with -n D -p nS where D and S are both even and D = 2S.
