If found a resolution to this issue. In case someone else stumbles upon this thread. I was running the 10g oracle client with and 11g database (long story on why so no room for details here ;>). I upgrade my Oracle client to the same version as the DB and the debugger is behaving as expected.

So make sure that your Oracle Client matches the version of the DB that you are debugging on.
