I would suggest ruling out the following, if you haven't already:

 

1.      The same service is not advertised in multiple instances/databases
2.      The same user/password does not work with multiple databases (just
for the purity of the test)

 

Please post the TNS names entry and the secondary entry if you are using a
backup TNS names.

I'm seeing TAF fail me over to a different database. As anyone seen this
behavior? Can anyone reproduce this?
Here's the simple test case......

OEL 4.5 / Oracle 10.2.0.4

4 nodes
3 databases
Each node has an instance of all db's so 3 instances per node * 4

1.connect to db_A from my client
2.select * from all objects from my client
3.from the server kill the instance that is running the query 
4.query stops for a second or two and then continues on a different instance
on a different node
6.Yeah TAF works!!
7.From same session conn user@db_B *note different database
8.select * from all objects from my client
9.from the server kill the instance that is running the query resulting
ora-1555
10.from the same client session in step 7&8 select instance name from
v$instance 
results in db_A <= It failed me over to a completely different database
11 TAF no work - bummer
