However, here's an update.
The 'feather' thing keeps raising its head with me. My ethical conscience has gone into overdrive. So for that reason I've been investigating the 'down' business a bit more deeply. There's some interesting stuff on the net about it, though it doesn't always make easy reading.
During my search for information I came across 'Tundra, ethical down sleeping bags'. Now the Pure -5 gets a good crit from Trail and this bag weighs in at a respectable 850g. No, it's not as light as some of the others. But it does have a full length zip and water-resistant head and foot.
Seems like this could be the answer for me.
{Tundra Pure -5}
I haven't bought one yet but I'd be interested if anyone has experience of one?

What a clever idea, ethically collected feathers. We like! Well done, that solves a few problems for you in one bag.
