If clamping between 0 and 1 doesn't work, 0.000001 and 0.999999 should. And I think masking out the blue channel of the normalmaps and then appending 0.5 fixes this as well.
I don't know the solution for this but you may try to: -change the scale of the object -change the value inside xnormal - low[...]-> maximum[...]distance, from 0.5 to 0.01 ?
yeah and 3d coat is only $89! is this an educational, or limited version? it doesn't really have much detail about the different versions. there is also a "professional" version for $315
