It seems that that the exposure bracketing settings would be quite intuitive.  I can enable the bracketing and it will bracket +/- 1 EV no problem.  However, I can’t get the +/- 2 EV setting to work to save my life.

Starting to go nuts...

Can you explain a bit more what "doesn't work" means?

It doesn't fire off three shots? The 3 shots aren't actually bracketed ±2 stops? It won't stay in/at the ±2 EV setting?

(Your screen shot shows the markings/indicators correctly for ± 2 stops.)

Yes.

When set as shown in the image, the camera brackets +/-1EV instead of +/-2 EV.  In fact as soon as I leave the exposure bracketing screen the bracket setting goes back to +/-1EV.  In other words, I can set the bracket leave the screen and then return and find the bracket set to the default values.

The camera does execute the bracket successfully, just not the bracket I want.

How are you "leaving" that page of the menu?

On my plain vanilla M10, I have to:

> go into the bracket setup page (as on your screen) > scroll to "F-stops" > change that to 2 (or whatever) > press the SET button (unlabelled, but the round button in the center of the silver four-way control to the right > That moves cursor to the Exp Comp line > Press the SET button again > that takes me back to the "Drive Mode" page, with the EV value changed to the new setting.

The M10 menu logic is a bit squirelly as to which menu items need "confirmation" of a change via pressing SET (sometimes twice), and which simply change without any further steps. Same for using the menu for ISO setting - the SET button has to be pressed to "confirm" a new ISO choice before leaving the ISO page.

Oh goodness!  I wasn't pressing the set button.

Works great, just like it should now.  Funny, I didn't derive that a button press was required to set the setting.  In some ways I suppose that's okay that I didn't realize that; I've had little need to menu dive this camera.

Thank you for helping me.

Yah - the "Time/Date" setting requires using SET as well. Always confuses me because 1) I change it so seldom, and 2) there are even more layers to "set" through (hours, minutes, day, month, year, 12/24 clock).
