I opened an SR in parallel with all the possible info and I started to have a look at the dump files but that didn't help either. It occurred to me that ilm, Information Life Cycle Management or Heat Map is a new 12c feature. However this feature wasn't enabled on our Target.
heat_map OFF
So this was a surprise.
Still the ORA-0600 seemed to give an error while calculating these stats, I quickly read some docs about this feature.

And Bingo the import Worked as expected.... Big disclaimer : putting _ parameters is not something you do without the blessing of support !!! I provided support with my workaround and they are checking for further potential issues and impacts
