We have amended our results regarding Pro-10 compatiblity and work we've been doing over June/July (2015):
[Updated: July 24th]
No sense in beating about the bush here. Canon standard profiles are not really suitable for these inks. Although passable results with Matt and Lustre media are possible, we would definitely recommend use of a matching profile of development of a custom profile, particularly for Glossy, Semi-Gloss papers.
Work has now begun on profiles for the papers we currently have available. The full list will be available over time but if you have any papers not on our list that you'd like added, please contact us for a profiling target and instructions.

[Updated: July 22nd]
Having slept on things we decided to try something difference with the "Clear Coating Area" setting and using the Kodak Pro Glossy 255gsm paper as one of the problem candidates, we decided to see if setting the Clear Coating Area to "Overall" would degrade or improve the adhesion issue.
The result was a significant improvement with the Chroma Optimiser coating providing a protective layer over the ink even without allowing the paper to fully dry.
[Updated: Sept 7th]
All Glossy type papers require the use of Clear Coating Area setting "Overall" and sufficient drying time to protect against scratch/ink-scratch damage to the print.
All papers are producing excellent results when profiled.
Mixing: None
There are no incompatibilities with the original and compatible inks.
Clogging: Minimal
So far the only issue of any note was that the PGI-72GY ink needed a manual clean after 5 months of non-use on one printhead. This is a pretty extreme case but the issue was easily resolved and such clogging doesn't occur overnight or within what we'd consider normal periods of inactivity. The PGI-72MBK was second on the list but any blocked nozzles were cleared with a single standard printhead clean process. All other inks were immediately available even after 5 months, with no clogging at all.
We'll also be talking to the manufacturer about progress on the version 2 inkset that is also in development, particularly to see if the issues with gloss can be resolved for the inks most affected.
Further information will be made available in due course...
