I see that the filenames inside the wheel match the original version:

$ unzip SimpleITK-0.10.0-cp27-cp27m-manylinux1_i686.whl
Archive:  SimpleITK-0.10.0-cp27-cp27m-manylinux1_i686.whl
  inflating: SimpleITK-0.10.0.0.data/purelib/SimpleITK/__init__.py
  inflating: SimpleITK-0.10.0.0.data/purelib/SimpleITK/SimpleITK.py
  inflating: SimpleITK-0.10.0.0.data/purelib/SimpleITK/_SimpleITK.so
  inflating: SimpleITK-0.10.0.0.dist-info/DESCRIPTION.rst
  inflating: SimpleITK-0.10.0.0.dist-info/metadata.json
  inflating: SimpleITK-0.10.0.0.dist-info/top_level.txt
  inflating: SimpleITK-0.10.0.0.dist-info/WHEEL
  inflating: SimpleITK-0.10.0.0.dist-info/METADATA
  inflating: SimpleITK-0.10.0.0.dist-info/RECORD

In SimpleITK-0.10.0.0.dist-info/METADATA there is:

Version: 0.10.0.0

but I don't know if that is where twine gets the version number - I
had assumed (and have some vague feeling I had evidence) that the
version comes from the file name, but maybe you have refuted that.

It is possible to make another release of binary files with the same
version, using the "build-tag" feature - see
https://github.com/h5py/h5py/issues/731#issuecomment-230826012 .  I
wonder whether you could just delete the 0.10.0.0 release, rebuild the
wheels with the correct version number, and then re-upload the
manylinux files to the 0.10.0 release, with an increment to the build
tag number, as in something like:

SimpleITK-1-0.10.0-cp27-cp27m-manylinux1_i686.whl

etc (see https://gist.github.com/matthew-brett/1b2e76d0f4993c1ff6c1ed4d16a7384d).

If it really is an auditwheel bug, it would be good to nail that down...

How about emailing the `wheel-builders` mailing list at a first pass -
I think the relevant people are on there:
