You're going to need at least a channel's width of spectrum between them as well - don't forget about side-lobe interference. Basically, even though wlan1 is listening on channel A and wlan2 is transmitting on channel B, if the two radios are close together physically, and channel B is adjacent (in the spectrum) to channel A, then A is going to be getting strong interference from B.
Separate the radios in both space and frequency.
If you have to use two routerboards and connect them with cat5 ethernet, just so you can get a few meters of space between them, it's going to help a lot.
