ORABPEL- 0803 JTA Rollback - ESB Error

Question

My scenario is as follows - I have an ESB service that is inserting data into a target database. I am pasing data into the ESB from an ochestration BPEL process. When the database is down the ESB DBadaptor fails and the ESB returns the following error to the BPEL process invoke activity and the process hangs with the invoke highlighted in red. Wen I drill into the code I can see the following return element.
<fault>
ORABPEL-08034
JTA Rollback requested.
The current JTA transaction has been aborted due to rollback request received from partner invocation.
</fault>
Firstly this is causing me problems because it is not throwing an error in BPEL so my catch is not catching the error even though it is being passed in a fault element. (I would have expected it to get caught in the catch all branch of my process)
Secondly why is the root error from the DbAdaptor in the ESB not being sent back?
Is this a fundamental issue with ESB error handling?
I would be happy if the Fault above was thrown and the fault was caught in the catch all and my process would handle this but it just hangs when the invoke activity fails.

Hi,
I applied the patch MLR6 and now has following scenario.
ESB is not even returning any fault when database adapter operation fails. I have been through the documentation available in Metalink and as per that the problem ESB Does Not Return Faults to BPEL (doc id 728491.1) should have been solved after applying MLR6.
This is referenced with bug no 5997936 which has been solved even before that in 10.1.3.4 Patchset for Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3.
Now I am confused. Please help. Following is the error log for reference
