Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

+1, I don't think it's a cable tension issue since all the other gears trim OK. It could be a kink causing the cable to hang at just one point, or possibly a hanger that isn't square.

Also whenever I see an RD that shifts erratically only on the lower (larger) sprockets, I double check the "B" screw adjustment. If the RD is too high the Jockey pulley can be too close to or touching the neighboring larger sprocket making that shift problematic. Moving it down to improve clearance usually solves the problem.
