mv_check execution is not predicated on all form checks passing 
successfully; mv_check gets parsed after IC data structures are updated by 
the from submission, that is all. Your explanation above does not clearly 
explain how you expect to conditionally parse the mv_check target. As is 
always the case with Interchange, there are many ways. For instance, you 
could use &success=somepage to pass execution through somepage.html if the 
form passes all checks, and execute your code there.
