Update: Regarding the minor code, it seems that should be a workable 
approach:

TRANSIENT_POANoResource from omniORB is reported as 0x 4F4D 0001 wich is 
an OMG std minor code (TRANSIENT/1 : Request discarded because of 
resource exhaustion in POA, or because POA is in discarding state.) so I 
could change my client to check for that code. (Resource exhaustion is 
not really something I care about here, so it should be pretty save.)
