"You purge impure thoughts from the target’s mind and fill him with exultant relief at the forgiveness of his sins. Absolution ends all charm or compulsion effects affecting the target (including harmless compulsions, such as heroism) as per break enchantment. If the target was forced to perform any actions contrary to his alignment, monk vows, paladin oath, or similar code of conduct by that charm or compulsion effect, that action doesn’t cause him to lose access to class abilities, including divine spellcasting."
Does this imply that actions taken while under mind control can make one evil. Alignment is already terrible. This implication is mystifying.

I think the implication is that actions performed while charmed/dominated count toward breaking specific conduct codes but ultimately has no bearing on overall alignment.
IE a Paladin dominated to murder a peasant falls, a Vow of Silence Monk charmed to talk loses the bonus, a druid dominated to teach druidic loses druidness, etc. but they all remain LG/L(something)/N(something) no matter how many times forced to do so.
I still think that's a dumb ruling, but at least its not in the realm of total clownshoes like actual alignment shifting through dominate (although that does certainly make redeeming succubi even easier than it already is with 5 castings of a protection from evil scroll).
