As it turns out, the solution was to import the mesh into Blender, re-make the UV map on my transparent objects so that adjacent faces were as contiguous as possible on the map and proportionately sized, then re-export the mesh and copy the NiTriShapeData into my object! After that, using flags 4333 in the NiAlphaProperty worked.

I probably changed something crucial in the mesh on the way, but I couldn't be sure what .
