I was mistaken; the index was broken in the PHP chm. I've played around with my own chms and found that the only way to correctly render the SJIS text is to untick the "Create a binary index" option in the HTML Help Workshop (Binary Index=No in the .hhp file).
The font and character set have no effect.
