If I get a ten man squad and choose to attach a leader to it (making it an 11 model unit) and attempt to place it in a transport with an occupancy of 10, it is illegal.

However, if I choose to deploy the squad short, eg leave one man out to make it legal, is that call made in List construction or deployment? And if it is in deployment, can I add it to the squad after it deploys from the transport (using a rule like the Apothecary's Narthecium)?

Transports have a capacity. If that capacity is 10, and the unit has 11 models, then they can not embark.

I knew that already. Thanks.

When do you choose to make it a smaller unit though? At list construction or at deployment?

Muster your army, Step 5, select units, in the core rules:
"Note on your Army Roster the number of models in your unit, ..."

So if you want to deploy in the transport you have to decide at list construction, not at deployment.

...and since that call is made the the 'Muster Armies' step, the missing model simply never took part instead of being destroyed, and so cannot be 'returned' to the unit.
