I think we should have this fixed in the latest SVN. It has code (using 
MySociety's Geo::HelmertTransform) which is able to do the switch between 
WGS84 and OSGB36, which then allows your eastings and northings to come 
out correct.

I think you just need to install Geo::HelmertTransform, set geo_handler to
1, and force_wgs84 to 0
