I entirely agree.
Incidentally there was a known issue with complex view merging in 10.2.0.1it's listed as being fixed in 10.2.0.2 but it certainly might be worth disabling complex view merging as a test to see if there are related unfixed bugs in the code.

IMHO this is no peculiarity of 10.2. In fact the section "Wrong Results" of *any* note describing the bugs fixed in a patch is quite long! E.g. for 10.1.0.5 about 100 bugs are referenced...
