Not sure what the acoustical engineers will say, but these are my thoughts.
The C note is the "shortest" note, that is, the oboe has its shortest effective length for this note (not including trill-keys, obviously).
Reed "artifacts" such as buzz or tippiness will be most obvious in the b-c range, and any damage to the upper bore will show up on this note as well.
I think that this is also the reason that an out of tune reed is most obvious for the 2nd octave b note unless you control it with your embouchure (a total no-no for American scrape players, but pretty common in the rest of the world)
Not a solution to your problem, I know, but food for thought.
