Hm, there's no explanation in the article as to why having lost nine electrons would make it iron 10 ... anybody know what's going on here?

This is incorrect. You cannot assure that there are no bi-infinite chains disconnected from the starting chain, but you can assure that there no cycles disconnected from the chain. To see this, note that Peano proves that, given x and y,
