     I use wings, poseray, pov, and always uncomment uv_mapping in my .inc 
file, and uv_mapping still works, (it doesn't if I don't uncomment), 
although, as you're using Blender, it may not be the same.

 I've tried Blender but find it messy. But no, sorry, I can't help with this 
apart from I do know that it works fine with wings .obj's, although that was 
some time ago now.

      Good luck!  :)
