I have read above that this rule might be exempt to British citizens like myself. But it doesn't mention this exemption here:

Has anyone (non-eu article 10 residence card holder married to a Brit) successfully entered the uk like this? Are the airlines fully aware of this rule?
Thanks, Ben
Pity that noone picked this up because it's ineed a good question and a question that is yet to be answered and made clear by the officials! I am in the exact same situation: I am Turkish married to a Brit and we both live and work in Germany and booked to visit the UK for xmas however I have been worriying a lot that Ryanair would not allow my boarding simply because they dont know the rules.
I have an aritcle 10 residence card tho it does not say anything in English. it's not my problem because that was the only card German authorities would issue me. So I hope you have managed to travel with your spouse okay and could update this thread. Fingers crossed for my travel this Friday!
