Yes, so in a highly-artificial scenario, AV can produce a result no worse than the same result under FPTP. Both range voting and approval voting can lead to the single least-popular candidate getting in. See http://archive.fairvote.org/?page=1920
And more to the point, neither of those are on the ballot paper. AV is.
In the link you sent, the person who has evaluated Range voting has evaluated a system based on totaling and not averaging based range voting with a reasonable quorum as it is described in rangevoting.org.
There are a number of reasons that averaging is preferable to totaling especially in sceanrios with incomplete information.
