Oboists and EH players have been struggling over the years with some of those second register notes with problems that don't show for the related first register notes. Some of the older Loree oboes had F#2 and F2 problems and many EHs have G2 and G#2 problems. These are often related to the fundamental acoustics of narrow bore instruments with small diameter tone holes. Alternate fingerings sometimes help, but stable reeds and resonant bocals don't seem to.

However your situation appears somewhat different, so perhaps it would be best to take it to an expert woodwind tuner, if you can find one. Good luck!
