i will report it.
i will also try making a very simple model with some bits of mesh that will cause occlusion and try that. my models are far simpler than the ones you have used, so it makes sense for me to try this. for instance, i need soon to create an imposing, large manor house door with suitable brass knobs and maybe a letter box. i also have to create a whole victorian-style study (complete with stuffed tiger) and a gun room, which will be a bit more challenging.
i might also try baking in 2.8 beta.
