OK, I've got something working at last, and I'll post this in case anyone else 
has the same problem, which is more than likely.

Although I haven't had time to dig through the source, it appears that 
mv_form_profile was doing the validation *before* the bill_eq_ship form 
variable was passed to profiles.order. That is, the checkbox value wasn't 
being used in the profile at all; the value of bill_eq_ship was always 'no'.

What I did was use 'mv_order_profile' instead, replaced this:

<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE="Save Details">

with this:

[button text="Save Details" form="account"]
mv_todo=submit
[/button]

at the bottom of the page, and also put '&final=no' in the profile.
