Yes -- you aren't thinking about HTML behavior.

If a checkbox is off, the browser doesn't submit anything for it, i.e.
you don't get /cgi-bin/yourcat?s_cat_1051=&s_cat_1052=on, you get
only /cgi-bin/yourcat?s_cat_1052=on.

So, Interchange has no idea you want to reset the persistent value 
s_cat_1051.

Probably what you want is:
 
[if cgi s_cat_1051]
[or cgi s_cat_1052]
Neck Measurement: <input type="text" name="meas_m_neck" width="8"><BR>
[/if]
