Otherwise, it seems like an odd problem. I thought of this possibility only in theory, I don't know what, if any, difference in c to c spacing between the chainrings there is between Campy's 10 and 11 sp cranks, I just thought of it as a possibility. If this does turn out to be the issue, you could likely run an 11sp chain and have it work fine with your 10 sp cassette. Good luck getting it figured out
That's an interesting theory. I hadn't even considered the chain. I wonder if it's also brand specific. The chain I currently have is Shimano.

I have a new Campy 10 speed chain I can try. I can probably get ahold of an 11 speed chain just to experiment with if the matching brand 10 speed doesn't help.
