add an edgeloop or two right where the black/yellow transitions.

this is the result when I add edge loops.

Are you sure your mesh/UV's are 100% clean? looks like a stray vert somewhere.

Wow, AD has finally transfered that nice little error..erm feature from 3ds Max to Maya.

if it looks like everything in the UV editor is merged properly select the uv border on it and do a merge uv at a value of .001

Hi there,

are you rendering with the smooth mesh preview? Try changing the UV smoothing from 'Smooth internal' to 'Smooth all' in the attribute editor under Smooth Mesh -> Extra Controls. If you did the UVs first and changed the topology too much afterwards, you probably have to unwrap you mesh again.

all this stems from is that modelers are always aware of how meshes interpolate in subdivisions but not how UV's interpolate. your issue looks similar to when a vert isn't welded and is the subdivided. so maybe the same happens when a uv isn't welded when it is subdivided. hmmm...
