Chris P can confirm but that sounds like a mechanical problem with your new oboe, possibly a bent or pinched tube down to the low Bb. I would get that seen to now, while it is still under warranty.
Regarding the sharp C# - see if you can adjust the C# pad a little closer to the hole. Depending on how sharp it is, this may fix your problem. check both octaves! Better still, get Howarth's to do the adjustment. While the instrument is under warranty they should fix any problems like this, especially serious intonation issues.
