Imagine Transactions with sizes of up to 15 Items. With a low support, arules does not check Itemsets of Level 10 correctly. Every Itemset of length 10 and more is always not frequent.
I compared the results with the output of the latest Borgelt Apriori implementation. Every retrieved Frequent Itemset is identical up to Level 9, after which they are simply missing.

OK this is my fault, I did not see the Parameter "maxlen" which defaults to 10. In the latest Borgelt implementation this Parameter defaults to infinity. IMO infinity is a more useful default value, because the Apriori Algorithm is defined to check all Itemsets which are over the minSupport threshold regardless of length.
While infinity theoretically a good idea, lots of people specify a minimum support which is too low and then they run out of memory. maxlen 10 at least sets a boundary and hopefully does not send your system into memory thrashing...
