This already happens if you switch "other" to "reporter" or something.

This works for me. When I type a partial name and then select form the list of matches, it checks the checkbox. If I do not select from the list, and just tab out of the text field or click anywhere on the page, it then checks the checkbox for me.

What is the exact text you are typing in that causes the checkbox to not check by default?

Here is the code snipped that does this:

            function needinfo_other_changed() {
              YAHOO.util.Dom.get('needinfo').checked = YAHOO.util.Dom.get('needinfo_from').value != '';
            }

And the other field has onchange="needinfo_other_changed();"

Don't tell anyone but it didn't occur to me to tab out of the field, and I _knew_ about the change event semantics.  Carry on.  :-)
