I've just tried the following on 10.2.0.1
select owner, count(*) from dba_objects
group by owner;
Autotrace produced a plan with a hash group by.
Then I did
alter session set "_gby_hash_aggregation_enabled" = false;
and repeated the query - the plan switched to a sort group by
(Your sample query from v$sql_plan defaulted to a sort
group by anyway, which is why I had to find another query).
A possible explanation for your observation - if I ran the test
using SQL_TRACE rather than autotrace, the first cursor
was not invalidated when I changed the setting for the
parameter. Try repeating your test with a comment in
the text to make the before and after versions of the query
look different.
You might also try the /*+ no_use_hash_aggregation */ hint.

Has anyone else tried setting this hidden parameter and found it didn't
disable the HASH GROUP BY feature? It's suggested in Metalink 387958.1
as a workaround to the "wrong results" bug (4604970) with the new HASH
GROUP BY feature, so I just set it as follows:
SQL> alter system set "_gby_hash_aggregation_enabled"=false;
System altered.
Then I ran a 10046 trace on a query known to have the HASH GROUP BY
operation in its explain plan:
SQL> alter session set sql_trace=true;
