My DNS queries are being intercepted and altered in-flight

Have you tried hitting an alternative DNS resolver than Google's? You might find Google are tailoring results for VM which other providers aren't willing to do.

I get the same results on a BT Infinity connection, querying 208.67.222.222 or 8.8.8.8 return a 31.55.167.180 address or similar and querying my local router which uses BT's DNS returns a Google IP 74.125.230.238

I get the same addresses from 208.67.220.220 as I do from 8.8.8.8 - addresses belonging to my ISP. If I'm using OpenDNS's recursor to look Google up, that would put the query (from Google's perspective) firmly outside of my ISP network, so why am I getting addresses pointing to my ISP in that case?

Try it with a DNS server you control, which does not support client-subnet, located on the other side of the world. If Virgin is MITMing your DNS traffic, the results will be the same as you have seen with OpenDNS. If the results are different, you're probably OK.
