Could be a bug in tkprof. Did you look at your query's STAT lines in the raw trace file ? Just search for your query in the trc file, and mark the PARSING IN CURSOR #<nn> -- <nn> being the cursor number. Then search forward to the next STAT #<nn> lines. That'll be your execution plan. Do you see the same results like tkprof reported ?
