With Satimage osax, I'm afraid your hack is the good solution.

In Smile, you have look-ahead and look-behind assertions, so you can 
write like:

ufind text "(?<!\\tAAA)\\t" etc.

meaning: I want tab, but only if ( (? means, here is the assertion), 
before the tab (that's <), there is not (that's !, otherwise for 
"there is" it's =) tab followed by AAA.
