The above routes seem fine, and the static route is in the RIB's
final table.
What is the output of "/sbin/ip route"?
Also, were there any route-related warning/error messages?

Previously you said that you see the static route in the kernel only
if you are not running RIP. Can you double-check this:
1. Verify with "/sbin/ip route" that the 192.168.10.0/24 route is
   not in the kernel.
2. Start XORP with "static" only (i.e., no RIP) and verify that the
   above route is in the kernel.
3. Stop XORP and verify that the route is gone.

Finally, can you set the "XRLTRACE" environmental variable and run
XORP with both "static" and RIP configured. This will produce lots
of output with all XRLs transmitted. Save this output and look for
the "redist_transaction4/0.1/add_route" XRLs which are sent from RIB
to the FEA. You should see such XRLs for all routes that are in the
"final" RIB table (see the output of
"show route table ipv4 unicast final").
