My only thought was it was bumpy down low and it was for an improved climb rate (think short field take off on steriods). |

My company revised it's after takeoff checklist several years ago requring both pilots to verbally confirm "flaps indicating zero" as part of the after takeoff checklist, usually completed within the first 3-4 thousand feet after takeoff, if not sooner. If I recall correctly, this adddition to the checklist was very effective in reducing flap overspeeds, which could result in lengthy delays due to the required maintenance inspection after they occured.

Unfortunately, this is not the context that I read in this thread. I agree you could get behind the airplane in the situations you talk of, but, that did not sound like the original question, nor in the follow-up on after-takeoff checklists...
Like I said, fly the airplane, especially on a normal takeoff...if things get out of normal, get them as close to normal as possible again, and FLY THE AIRPLANE!
Also, 250 below 10K USUALLY is over water...why would you leave any flaps in? Just curious...
