Check item 15 on this. http://www.campagnolo.com/jsp/en/faq/faqcatid_9.jsp

Any reason why you can't use a 2010 model, or a 2011 Centaur?

For questions about Campag, the best place to ask is on Campyonly, they only talk about Campagnolo, so will be able to give much more specific answers than on here. http://www.campyonly.com/

So, the answer is "no"? I did all those searches, including campyonly. It still wasn't clear (even "Item 15"). The 2011 Veloce is still 10 speed, so I thought it might be possible.

Isn't a Centaur just an upgraded Veloce, so why would a 2011 Centaur be compatible?

The only relevant post at campyonly was this. I don't have much confidence in the answer.

11 Speed Rear Deraileur on a 10 speed

11 speed deraileur works fine on 10 speed set up.
You need to change the 11 sp pulleys to 10 sp pulleys.
Also, I swaped out the titanium parts from a record 10 sp rear deraileur to a record 11 sp.
Makes it lighter and more or less equivalent to a super record rd
