Why don't you bake your AO textures in Mod Tools (i.e. the free version of Autodesk Softimage)?
I started using that program after Jeff's advise. Its texture baking utility features a lot of useful options for customizing the output. They can be a bit confusing at the beginning, but imo they are worth the effort of learning them.
On medium settings, my bakes never missed a single texel even on very minute parts, but I must add that I always unwrap my models manually.

My pleasure. Let me know if you need any help with it. If you want I can also tell you my favourite settings. Depending on model complexity and final pixel resolution a good bake might take 20 to 40 minutes, but if you have a more modern computer it might take even lesser
