I have now found
https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/showdoc?db=NOT&id=223303.1
which describes that the Row-S locks on the child tables were introduced
in 9.2.0 to address problems with parallel DML hanging.
I have logged a SR with Oracle, but would also appreciate any comments
on why 11g shows Row-X locks on the child tables.
Or if others see this in 11.1.0.6 / their 11.1.0.7.
Thanks,
Bruce Reardon

We have recently upgraded from 8.1.7.4 to 11.1.0.7 on Windows 2003R2 SP2
32 bit and have experienced a block lock situation involve foreign keys.
We do not think it is due to missing indexes.
We don't yet have a full reproducer that does not rely on our full
database, but do have a cut down example that shows the exclusive locks
on the child tables. In this case, updates to the child tables are not
blocked.
The question - why did 11g change the child locks to being row
exclusive?
This may help us understand why in the full example we get child updates
blocked.
The reproducer can be found at
//www.freelists.org/post/oracle-l/Insert-into-parent-table-gives-ro
w-exclusive-locks-on-the-child-tables-in-11g
In 8.1.7.4, we see a TM DML enqueue lock Row-X (SX) on the parent_tbl.
In 9.2 and 10.2 we see the addition of "TM DML enqueue lock Row-S
(SS)" on the 2 child tables.
In 11.1.0.7, we see the lock on the child tables is now row exclusive -
"TM DML enqueue lock Row-X (SX)".
Thanks,
