"Better tell Intel to update their slides. They claimed 10 stages in their comparison foils with Pentium 4."

Intel counts the stages funny. Here is a diagram.
google.com

See slide 6.

"and a repipelining might have certainly contributed to enabling higher clock frequencies, even while keeping the number of critical stages the same."

Almost certainly.

"Many claimed that AMD designed the K7 core for their 0.18u process, even though they initially launched it at 0.25u."

It is my understanding that a processor is usually designed for the process that follows the one it launches on.
