I am using solr to perform a distributed search. I am using version 1.3 to
accommodate older indices in the already existing system. I am able to
perform a search over a single shard, even faceting and highlighting works.

However, when it comes to distributed search, I get an exception 500. The
stacktrace is almost similar to the one mentioned in
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1540 . The issue is also almost
the same.

Any idea/fix to tackle?

Simply try using Solr3.6 to read your old 1.3 indices. Chances are that it will work - without the exceptions :)
