So what gives? I saw the Golf TDI got more mileage and then the Jetta too for 2010. I've also seen a different DSG mentioned, that doesn't seem likely for 1 year unless they are carrying this engine/transmission for a few years in the Golf.
More mpg in 2010

It is mentioned in the 2009 vs 2010 article. It's possible that there is some tuning change or the car was retested to raise the EPA estimates.
I've seen mentions of a different DSG, this is 99% not the case. If it were, someone would have had proof of it by now. So far, the dry DSG is used only in the smaller Euro diesels since it has a torque limit which is exceeded by the larger engines.
Also, while it's not confirmed yet, there are strong indications that the Jetta will be all new in 2011 and not be delayed into 2012. It will probably use the same basic engine/transmission but the body/chassis/look will be all new.

2nd, the 2010 will be on lots in a few months. If there was a major technological change then you'd have heard of it by now.
Today was the first day of my commute with my 2010 TDI (manual), and I got 51 MPG! My commute is 110 miles round trip...
