Looks like we think there are less than 16 slots allocated on that node. What is in this "nodes" file? Without it, OMPI should read the Torque allocation directly.

No - if listed 16 times, it should compute 16 slots. Try adding --display-allocation to your cmd line and it should tell you how many slots are present. However, it doesn't assume there is a core for each slot. Instead, it detects the cores directly on the node. It sounds like it isn't seeing them for some reason. What OS are you running on that node? FWIW: the 1.6 series has a different detection system for cores.

Could you perhaps configure OMPI with --enable-debug and gdb the core file to tell us the line numbers involved?
