If I am to bet, I would say oak ORB cannot handle GIOP LocateRequest.
If you want to verify if this is the case, comment out the call to
assertObjectExistent() in <2.7.1>/src/lib/omniORB2/orbcore/proxyCall.cc and
recompile.

By the way, what is oak ORB?

P.S. I'm a bit tired of sorting out all these interoperability problems
     where it is often the case that the other party does not fully
     implement GIOP 1.0 spec. I just had a similar experience yesterday with
     an external test suite I'm running omniORB2 against.
