Just to clear things up about the event 10503 - it _does_ work at session 
level.  It was broken at session level in by another patch intending to fix the 
overall fact that it didn't work at all.  I needed this event working at 
session level, so raised a bug (10274265) in MOS in Nov 2010.  Oracle accepted 
that the event's intended functionality was indeed broken, as it is meant to 
work at session level.  This took a long time to come through but was 
eventually patched under 11.2.0.3.0 on SPARC, and I see various other ports to 
AIX are now there.

We then set the event at session level under a login trigger for the 
application sessions suffering the issue.  This removed the problem, and caused 
no bad side effects (in an environment with 60k SQL executions per second).

You may have to port the patch over to your specific version, but it is worth a 
try, particularly if the problem you are experiencing in QA is in a different 
part of the system.
