highly intermittent java.lang.ClassCastException: [[Lorg.apache.derby.iapi.store.access.Qualifier; incompatible with org.apache.derby.iapi.types.DataValueDescriptor doing simple select

I got a report from a user for a highly intermittent ClassCastException doing a select. Below is the stack trace:

I don't have a reproduction yet but have some information on the schema and query that occasionally fails: The data here is contrived, I don't know the actual data in the table at the time of the failure. The column names have changed, but represent the same types.

CREATE TABLE "APP"."RESOURCE"
(
"AUUID" CHAR(36) NOT NULL,
"BUUID" CHAR(36) NOT NULL,
"CUUID" CHAR(36) NOT NULL,
"DUUID" CHAR(36) NOT NULL,
"SECTION" CHAR(6) NOT NULL,
"TYPE" CHAR(48) NOT NULL,
"LASTUPDATE" TIMESTAMP NOT NULL
);
ALTER TABLE "APP"."RESOURCE" ADD CONSTRAINT "SQL060817095529130" PRIMARY KEY ("AUUID", "BUUID", "SECTION");

– Not sure of the actual data. This data was made up so the query would get a match.

INSERT INTO RESOURCE VALUES ('3b2c2edc-1401-0000-0080-c38634aef3ba', '3b2c2edc-1401-0000-0080-c38634aef3bb', '2be1347d-2001-0000-0080-8cd524f0d034', '2be1347d-2001-0000-0080-8cd524f0d033', 'GENRAL', 'NodeType', CURRENT_TIMESTAMP);

SELECT * FROM RESOURCE WHERE
SECTION='GENRAL' AND
TYPE='NodeType' AND
DUUID='2be1347d-2001-0000-0080-8cd524f0d033' AND
BUUID='3b2c2edc-1401-0000-0080-c38634aef3bb';

This has happened to just one user on z/OS with J2RE 1.5.0 IBM z/OS build pmz31dev-20081210 (SR9-0). Other users running the same application on the same versions have not seen this issue. This particular user has disabled the functionality causing the problem for now, so I am hoping we can glean some information from code inspection and debugging this sample query to see where the cast might go wrong.
