Sadly this is not an option, what with it being dark all the time now and me working in the arse-end of nowhere.
I have experimented with it while stationary. Once they're on and the motor's running they're fine unless I switch them all the way off; I can switch it back and forth between dip and side lights until the cows come home.
To recap. When I had it looked at a couple of weekends ago the AA man thought it was the Dip Beam Relay, then later the electrician fixed the relay (with a Cold Solder, which is probably not as interesting as it sounds) and said the problem was in fact in the light stem. Which would require purchase of a £130 steering assembly from Honda ... I will try and get one second hand and get it fitted somehow, but it's not something that will be fixed before morning (or even evening).
