Only got one other idea, have you tried importing the obj with the Uv's mapped onto the one you've sculpted first, before doing the normal map?
It's just I had the same kind of problem and that worked for me.

You can also use a plugin called JSNormalMapper which works much better than the traditional bump utility inside of Maya. You can also flip channels with it as well.

It can be found here: https://www.pixero.com/downloads_maya.html

Imagination is more important than knowledge.
