You just need to explicitly reset the value after displaying the input:

<input type=checkbox name=foo value=1 [checked foo 1]> Foo
[value name=foo set='' hide=1]

That way, the next time the form is submitted, foo will be empty 
(unchecked) unless they check/leave checked the box.  Note: when you have 
multiple checkboxes for one variable name, this needs to change a bit:

<input type=checkbox name=foo value=1 [if value foo =~ /1/]checked[/if]> Foo 1
<input type=checkbox name=foo value=2 [if value foo =~ /2/]checked[/if]> Foo 2
... <!-- etc -->
[value name=foo set='' hide=1]
