This isn't true in ICANN-contracted registries. The maximum period is 10 years, absolutely, so if you have 10 years to go and you pay for a transfer you lose the additional year's payment.
Oh, come *on* guys. How much does a bleeping domain *cost*? Under what conditions does "zomg I'm gonna lose the other 9 years" actually outweigh the aggrivation? <snip>
You don't lose the other 9 years. You just don't get an 11th year if the new renewal date would then be more than 10 years out. For what it's worth, .ca (non-ICANN) works the same way.
