There is no reason.
Are you in RAC?
Is this a big table?
Any message in alert.log?
What is the size of the SGA?

Does it still take so long now (note that it may take long with 428 million rows, by the way how many blocks?).
Did you execute the "select *" just after the "alter table" or after a while?

Ahh! you didn't say it is DURING the DDL.
During a DDL all statements are stopped in the library cache until the DDL ends otherwise it could return inconsistent result.
