Why? I have none of the problems you have, it's obviously something on your system that's incompatible, and it's a given that bugs can present themselves for software when it codes even tighter to the rules. Or simply, something outside of MOTU and DP10 can break DP10 that does not break DP9. You're literally experiencing the exact type of issues with DP you have consistently chided users about who posted their issues on these very forums.
Here are a couple more things to consider:
DP10 on OSX side is 64 bit only now, unlike DP9. <-- This could be an issue.
Like I mentioned the absolute first thing to check when you get total crashes etc, in any DAW really, is plug ins. If you can run it without plug ins then you know that one is incompatible. At first DP10 crashed a few times, but after going through all plug ins and making sure no failed plug ins were loading things are fine here. 400+ plug ins loaded.
Third party drivers: audio card, mice, control surfaces, keyboards etc. all are suspect.
I'm mentioning all of this because your problem is unique, but your computer is not. Macs rarely have issues that are specific to one iteration, and they don't pop up like you're experiencing. What is unique is your particular combination of hardware drivers, plug ins and workflow, with workflow being the least likely suspect here. I'm aware that you and the MOTU guy may have tried most of this, but both of you are only human, and frustration often blocks rational, making people miss the basics of troubleshooting.
M2 Studio Ultra, RME Babyface FS, Slate Raven Mti2, NI SL88 MKII, Linnstrument, MPC Live II, Launchpad MK3. Hundreds of plug ins.
