Finally got Data Pump working without any errors on AIX 5.2. I needed 2 extra patches (1 unpublished patch for AIX (ORA-00600) - which will be included in patch set 10.1.0.5.0 btw - , a second patch for a problem with Workspace Manager => needed to upgrade WM to version 10.1.0.3.0).

Mind you, I already had patch set 10.1.0.4 ...

Question to Oracle : are you properly TESTING new features on other platforms than Linux ? I mean, all I did was install 10.1.0.4.0 software + db on AIX 5.2, tried a full expdp and bam! => ORA-00600 ...
