It's getting somewhere...

In firebug that element now looks like:

> <input class="fieldBasicData" data-name="svc_charges" data-type="currency" data-displayvalue="2264.177655529488" data-value="0.00" type="hidden">

But this has not updated the value visible to the end-user. This is in 
the two nested <span> above the input tag...

I would have assumed that there would be some kind of API for this kind 
of thing in the Detail_js class or similar but I've been hunting around 
the code and can't find anything.

And picklists are just a nightmare... They really do seem to be empty 
until you click the pencil icon to edit them :-(
