I would take a look at v$session_wait whilst the
import is running and see what pops up.
My understanding of NESTED_TABLE_SET_REFS is to get at
the hidden columns when object data types are used.
I'm not sure why it always seems to be so prevalent in
import - possibly they just do it with any old table
and the hint is ignored except in the object case
