Yikes! So how do you use these cells in an 817, given that the radio
trickle charges them the whole time it has power connected? Anyone
whose 817 spends most of its time connected to an external supply, as
mine does, using NiMH's would seem to be a bad idea.

Yes, you can damage them this way! I found an application manual
for
Panasonic NiMHs some time ago on their website, and they state that
overcharging those cells is to be avoided, because the life
expectancy will drop. Even trickle charging those cells should be
limited to 10 hours!
