AnswerEverything you have done already I would have suggested. Now we have to go for the outrageous. Here we go.
Try flushing the motor. I mean a good job where you hook up a garden hose and the whole deal. Don't forget to pull the thermostat.
Could the thermostat be a bad one? I doubt it. This would act up more often.
How about this? The heater core is plugged. If this is bad, the cooling system will act decent until a load like A/C. Once the A/C is on the system needs the heater core for more cooling flow. If you are plugged here, it would act similar to a plugged radiator.
Collapsing hose? Bad bypass hose?
