Yes I can believe this. Do you really want Oracle to modify core parts
of the system quickly and on a one-off basis. Would the resulting db
be upgradeable to 9206 or to 10? Are you confident that the testing of
a one off pack is as thorough as the testing for a patchset for all
customers and all platforms?

In the meantime the 2 available workarounds appear clear. 

1. Don't use RAC. 
2. Use windows not *nix. 

:( 

One of these workarounds may make more sense than the other....
