I'm on my 4th Mavic Kysyrium back wheel, they crack badly in the same way and the nipples pull out. Always around the 2500 mile mark and 160 miles riding time, very consistent. Luckilly I have the MP3 warranty so they keep getting replaced. But it is not fun overall having to keep a constant check on them and having to swap wheels if your doing a very long ride and your close to 2500 miles already ridden. My last wheel, every spoke was pulling out of the rim on the drive side.

is it an alu rim on the rs10's?
anyway good too hear they sorted it quickly and you are now riding again
i just ordered a new £25 rear wheel last night due to the cup shearing away? oh well i didn't buy the wheel it came on the bike second hand
any ways will hopefully get a defy 5 or so in the summer and then pamper it and give it carbon forks and fulcrum 7's!

I think most wheels have Alu rims at this sort of price point upto £100, I stand to be correct though.

The picture only shows the black paint on the rim.

i can see a little where the black is worn away and shows some silver and also it hasn't got the distinctive 'carbon looks'
