The solution to these problems is to add support for a more traditional lightmapper (pre-baked light texture). Lightmapper looks pretty nice: Of course, GIProbe still has the advantages of being real-time, easier to set up (no unwrap or bake), supports rough refletions (which look great), and light affects dynamic objects more accurately.
