10k MP cap..I hate it!!

I think they may have meant that even though the larger MP bar shows 10000, it actually represents 100.00

Max MP is always going to be 100%, so whatever number they have on any MP bar will represent 100%. The actual mana is still 10,000 since spell/ability costs are in the 300-1000 MP range and clearly takes this much mana out from the 10k total. It's a style choice to show 10000 in the party list, presumably because the numbers are smaller there and it's easier to read and they chose 10,000 MP for the very reason that when they do this it neatly lines up with the percent scale.
