/AS is specified for annotations in general as (Required if the appearance dictionary AP contains one or more subdictionaries; PDF 1.2) The annotation’s appearance state, which selects the applicable appearance stream from an appearance subdictionary. /V is specified for form fields as (Optional; inheritable) The field’s value, whose format varies depending on the field type. See the descriptions of individual field types for further information. For checkboxes the specification furthermore says: The V entry in the field dictionary (see Table 220) holds a name object representing the check box’s appearance state, which shall be used to select the appropriate appearance from the appearance dictionary. Thus, in case of checkboxes both entries have to have the identical value (assuming that the "applicable" appearance is also the "appropriate" one and vice versa). In case of your document they don't.
