Just catching up on my emails :)

Keep in mind that UNDO for LOBs is stored in the Block itself (PCTVERSION) and not in UNDO segments. The rollback mechanism is different where LOBs are concerned, and Oracle uses file blocks containing data (rather than rollback/undo blocks) to provide read-consistency (i.e. reconstruct prior-image from rollback data for satisfying queries that started before the change). I believe this is the cause of the problem...
