What makes me skeptical is that the hi-beams come on when I flick the stalk, which suggests that the head light switch contact is doing it's thing.

That's what I thought too, but after talking to the mechanic, he said the stalk bypasses the switch which is why the high beams will come on via the stalk but they won't stay on without holding it.
