Ok, so just to conclude on this topic for anyone who might read it latter.
I did a software upgrade to 1.0.1.2 and tried again with my MacBook and the 10GbE adapter and now I'm getting consistently 1000FD.
My guess is that something got in a strange state and the upgrade fixed that. I have tried to plug/un-plug the cable multiple times and everytime it worked as expected (auto negotiation at 1000FD).
Just to rule that out I have just done a test with a 3m patchcord connected to my 10GbE USB-C transciever to a MacBook pro.
I've got 1000FD on all ports of the switch except g8 which reliably stays at 100FD.
So I'm leaning towards a small hardware issue idea as well.
I will do the software upgrade as well just to be sure and if things look the same I will probably ask for RMA.
