Bug 20214168 - Wrong Results using aggregations of CASE expression with fix of bug 20003240 present

I started to use Oracle 12c in the early 2014 in non-production environments.
At now I am extensively testing the ADO, In-Memory functionalities and have couple of database in production.
They already use DBBP (Database Bundle Patch) 10 for engineering systems and database In-Memory and have several underscope parameters in effect.
Unfortunately, a few days ago we have faced with the wrong results caused by the Bug 20214168 - Wrong Results using aggregations of CASE expression with fix of bug 20003240 present.
This problem was already discussed on the freelist oracle-l thread Strange Behaviour (with Test Case).
Original thread was Exadata specific.
We dont have an Exadata yet but we use DBIM (Database In-Memory) and so we install DBBP patches.
I found out that solution from the thread with event 10055 don't help to resolve wrong results issue in our environment.
Let's create test table and data from the original bug:
SQL> create table test_fact(chrtype varchar2(3), rate number);
SQL> insert into test_fact values('R03', 1.3);
SQL> insert into test_fact values('LDU', 0.21);
SQL> 
SQL> select *
  2    from test_fact;

CHRTYPE         RATE
--------- ----------
R03              1.3
LDU              .21
Now execute below query:
SQL> select sum(
  2           case
  3             when chrtype in ('R03', 'LDU')
  4             then rate/10
  5           end) result
  6    from test_fact;

    RESULT
----------
      .041
Notice wrong results. Above query should return 0.151 and not 0.041.
Now we will execute same query with the event 10055 set:
SQL> alter session set events '10055 trace name context forever, level 0x200';
SQL> 
SQL> select sum(
  2           case
  3             when chrtype in ('R03', 'LDU')
  4             then rate/10
  5           end) result
  6    from test_fact;

    RESULT
----------
      .041
Notice that results are the same (they are wrong) and the event 10055 set to level 0x200 dont help.
I observed these results in the environment with Patch 21188742 - Database Patch for Engineered Systems and DB In-Memory 12.1.0.2.10 (Jul2015) applied.
May be other levels of event 10055 could help?

Unfortunately, other levels also have not helped.
I found 2 possible solutions for this problem case.
1. set _rowsets_enabled to false:
SQL> select sum(
  2           case
  3             when chrtype in ('R03', 'LDU')
  4             then rate/10
  5           end) result
  6    from test_fact;

    RESULT
----------
      .041
SQL> 
SQL> alter session set "_rowsets_enabled"=false;
SQL> 
SQL> select sum(
  2           case
  3             when chrtype in ('R03', 'LDU')
  4             then rate/10
  5           end) result
  6    from test_fact;

    RESULT
----------
      .151
2. set _rowsets_max_rows to 1:
SQL> select sum(
  2           case
  3             when chrtype in ('R03', 'LDU')
  4             then rate/10
  5           end) result
  6    from test_fact;

    RESULT
----------
      .041
SQL> 
SQL> alter session set "_rowsets_max_rows"=1;
SQL> 
SQL> select sum(
  2           case
  3             when chrtype in ('R03', 'LDU')
  4             then rate/10
  5           end) result
  6    from test_fact;

    RESULT
----------
      .151
Off course, we shouldn't use underscope parameters without Oracle Support agreement.
Instead we should apply the fix for bug 20214168 ASAP.
I tried to apply the patch 20214168 to this Oracle Home but OPatch informed me that patch already applied!
Recommended actions: The fixes by this patch are currently in the Oracle Home. There is no need to apply this patch.

I have found that bug 21214168 incorrectly informed as fixed but actually it's not fixed: Bug 21553476 - Wrong Results using aggregations of CASE expression with fix of bug 20003240 present in Exadata (Doc ID 21553476.8).
So instead of install patch 21214168, we should install Patch 21553476: EXADATA X5-2 RESULTS WRONG NUMERIC CALCULATION.
I had installed patch 21553476 and problem was resolved after that!
