The spokes on the rear cross over just after leaving the hub, but they bend around each other at an alarming angle. Is this correct for 2x lacing?

That's interlacing. See my earlier comments - it's traditional, but not strictly necessary.

Thanks for the reassurance. Is a CX-Ray twisted 100 degrees grounds for spoke replacement, or do they just need untwisted and re-trued?

It's grounds for complaint, there's no excuse to have wind-up in bladed spokes*, but a CX-Ray can be wound up further than that without suffering damage.

*There's no excuse for it with round spokes either, but it's very easy to avoid with CX/CX-Ray as Sapim actually make a spoke holding tool for them.
