Hmm, yes, that is the case as well...

Based on your example diagram, there are six possible two-disk failure
cases:

Fails  RAID10   RAID0+1
=====  ======   =======
A&B    BAD      BAD
A&C    OK       OK
A&D    OK       BAD
B&C    OK       BAD
B&D    OK       OK
C&D    BAD      BAD

As you said, 2/3 chance of surviving with RAID10, and only 1/3 for
RAID0+1.
