I have problems with resist adhesion on oxides or nitrides with BOE if I don't use HMDS. I can't comment on liquid priming since I always do the vapor priming method. But I suspect this might be your main issue. If your features are not too small, you can also try a PMGI undercoating (Lift-off resist). They often tend to have greater adhesion to dielectrics than the straight resist.
