getValue and getOnValue/getOffValue return different settings of the field. getValue works on the field dictionaries 'V' entry whereas getOnValue/getOffValue look at the fields appearance settings. Normally when a checkbox is checked the fields value AND the appearance need to be updated. This is not the case with your form. How was the value of the original form set? Which software?
