If you're willing to show the plaintext, why do you care about
protecting the session key?  Are you reusing it?  This might be an
issue for a PGPdisk, for example, where one symmetric key protects the
entire contents...  you can't reveal+prove selected parts.  

for an rsa key,
if one has the session key, ciphertext and plaintext,
and, at some point, 
*if*
md5 is 'fully' broken,
would it not be possible to retrieve the secret key and passphrase?
