Ian, >> the anti-aliasing of bump-mapped surfaces doesn't seem to be as effective as that of the rest of the scene…. Any suggestions? << PMJI, but I've found that the best way around this is to increase the resolution and have nice smooth blend within the bump-map itself. Airbrush tools in Photoshop/Photostyler etc, would do a nice job of this. You can then turn down blur in the Materials Editor bump-map setup and still get the effect you want. FWIW :)_
