"I had some problems with their Behr latex paint."

That's weird, I've never had a problem with Behr.  Glliden paint is horrible, but Behr has always worked excelent when I've painted rooms.

The only time I've seen latex paint strip off that easily is when you try painting over gloss without stripping it first with like TSP or somthing.  Latex paint should go just fine over oil, just so long as it isn't glossy (Which primer isn't).

You'll also get problems if you sanded your primer coat (or it collected dust somehow). Also painting many coats too soon creates one thick coat that can easily peel off. You gotta do one thin coat and let it thoroughly dry first. Then do another...

I was always taught that you cannot paint latex over oil. but oil will paint over latex.  someone once told me that when repainting something and in doubt about what's already painted then buy oil...  maybe your problem is mixing oil and latex.  I could be wrong tho  :-\

Actually, you've got it backwards.

I used Glidden gripper latex primer and then covered it with Behr black latex.  The primer went on well and dried quickly.  After a day of drying, I applied the black.  The black was very difficult to get a smooth finish.  I even tried several combinations of Flowtrol without any improvements.  It took forever, because the black stayed sticky for days and required a lot of sanding.
