ORACLE tags not working after 1.5.1 patch

Question

I have some logic in my template the looks up information from some Oracle tables. This logic worked fine in 1.5.0, however, after applying the 1.5.1 patch it does not perform the Oracle logic, but shows the Oracle code as HTML on the page. Here is the code in question: (This is not the entire code, but one HTML TD that comes before the Oracle code, and one HTML TD that comes after it)
<TD align="center" valign="top"><A
href="/pls/portal/PORTAL.home"><IMG src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#ihome.gif" alt="Home" border="0"></A></TD>
<ORACLE>
BEGIN htp.tableData(htf.anchor2('javascript:help_openTopic(''/insitehelp/Insite_Help.htm'', ''' || pkg_insite_general.help_link(v('APP_ID'), v('APP_PAGE_ID')) || ''')', '', '', '', '><IMG src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#ihelpl.gif" alt="Help" border=0'), 'center');
END;
</ORACLE>
<TD align="center" valign="top"><IMG src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#ilogout.gif" alt="Logout" border="0"></TD>
This is what displays on the web page:
BEGIN htp.tableData(htf.anchor2('javascript:help_openTopic(''/insitehelp/Insite_Help.htm'', ''' || pkg_insite_general.help_link(v('APP_ID'), v('APP_PAGE_ID')) || ''')', '', '', '', '>

Your removal of functionality in a bug fix has broken a production application for us. This does not seem like something that should have been done with a "patch"
I have just read all that I can find on "shortcuts" and am not finding what I need.
Here is what we are doing:
We are using RoboHelp for our help content. We have a help icon and a help link on the header of the page. This is defined in our template. We have to have the name of the module (Page Alias) to link the page being run to the help content for that page. Since you do not have a system variable for page name or page alias, I have had to put this information into an Oracle table. I was looking that up with a function within the Oracle Tags.
Can I create a shortcut that would create the following code pl/sql code into a PL/SQL function body:
BEGIN
htp.tableData(htf.anchor2('javascript:help_openTopic(''/insitehelp/Insite_Help.htm'', ''' || pkg_insite_general.help_link(v('APP_ID'), v('APP_PAGE_ID')) || ''')', '', '', '', '><IMG src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#ihelpl.gif" alt="Help" border=0'), 'center');
END;
and call this shortcut where this help icon needs to appear like:
<TD align="center" valign="top">
"CALLHELPWITHICON"
</TD>
I have done the above, but it does not work. What am I doing wrong, how can I get this to work? We have had to remove our help icons because of this patch.
I thank you so for your research on this.
