I don't know how Vuescan works, but in NikonScan, once you've done an autofocus, you can bump the focus slider manually. Since there's already an uncertainty of at least a half a count, I'd try bumping it by two, to see if that helps.
However, I'm not sure defocusing will reduce aliasing, because it probably has a rectangular response shape (meaning that it turns a dot into a sharply defined circle, not a fuzzy blob). What's really needed is a diffuser. NeatImage is a fairly low-cost investment, and I've had some good results with it. -- Ciao, Paul D.
