It seems highly likely if you have a problem it will be with IOTs. (Is this with a compressed primary key ?)
In earlier versions of dbms_stats, an attempt to execute dbms_stats against an IOT would turn silently into an ANALYZE after raising a trapped exception.
Are you creating histograms as you go ? Are you using anything like the AUTOSAMPLE option ?
If you haven't done so already, you could try running your crashing dbms_stats calls with sql_trace switched on so that you can see if one particular bit of the recursive SQL is causing the problem.
