Alternatively, there is an option to multiplex the data onto the command
channel. That gets around the ephemeral port issue.
(How is the option turned on? I don't know off the top of my head, which
means I'd have to do the same thing as you... dig into the
documentation, or ask a RAC expert. I think it's specified in the
configuration file, so that's where I'd start digging.)
Yet more alternatively is to use the new (technology preview) AC, which
uses no ephemeral ports, keeping data and command separate, but both
incoming to the AC on port 10002.

You'll have to set the 'isDataMultiplexed' attribute of the
'AgentControllerConfiguration' element in config/serviceconfig.xml to
true.

Your original message also said "All help greatly appreciated", but I
bet you didn't realize how shoddy my help could be when you said that!
:-) I really apologize for responding to a response without reading the
original as carefully as I should have.
Sorry, no, I'm not seeing why this isn't working. I would have assumed
it was all or none... either you would have gotten nothing through, or
it all would have gone through okay. At first I went down the path of
thinking that perhaps file xfer was on a separate port, even when
multiplexed (as file xfer appears to be treated somewhat like a
different "service" with its own port number and all), but perusing the
code a bit and looking (futilely) online at the TPTP website for some
documentation on the data multiplexing feature convinced me that file
xfer is multiplexed as well (based on one obscure reference in a
JavaDoc... those things really are just about useless as best I can
tell!). Besides, that wouldn't have explained not being able to retrieve
the statistical information, which I know would have gone over the data
channel even if file xfer hadn't.
The Putty tunneling itself would be the last place I would suspect.
Plenty of Putty tunneling going on out there, so I assume it's rock solid.
Sorry to have been a disservice initially, and no service at all
finally! But perhaps this will cause others to go back to the original
message and take another crack at it.

David,
This works in the latest version of TPTP. I can't really talk on behalf
of the IPOT team though. Please note that the isDataMultiplexed option
only redirects the data channel to the control channel and not the console
channel. If the application being profiled requires user input, you're
still going to have problems getting through the firewall.
