have you tried using another software to generate the normal maps,
i recommend xnormal, very easy to use, and you get really good results

So although that doesn't answer your problem, it's something to remember, and it recommends 2048 maps.

And have you tried it with a different file type, BMP or Jpeg to see if it works that way?
