Fall back orders are for units that have failed a morale test in the end
phase - they are actually on "run away!!" orders :) so they shouldn't be
able to hold objectives. "Broken" units that have passed their morale check and
are still organised enough to be given orders other than "fall back", shoot,
fight in CC etc and hold objectives.

Well, they have compensating features. Eldar are comparatively good morale,
so they will usually rally on their own. Orks are very difficult to break in
the first place (assuming you max out on extra boyz), so if they are
broken at all then usually there will be
so few stands left that they wouldn't be able to do much good anyway.
Do Warlords help the Orks morale? What about Gargant Gork & Mork heads,
don't they do something?

Surely it's simpler to leave it as it currently stands, that is, in the end
phase, check if a company or detachment is broken, roll for morale, then
immediately place "fall back" orders if it fails. Only *then* should
objectives be calculated, ignoring any units on "fall back" orders.

Well, units with "fall back" orders cannot move toward the enemy, cannot
shoot (I think...) and suffer CC penalties. This makes fall back *quite*
different from charge.
