Well, this might not be the answer that you are looking for but here goes! The boolean functions require absolute topographical integrity to work properly. If you were to create two spheres that you needed to join and one of those spheres had a hole in it about the size of a gnats eyelash it will not work. That object has ceased to be a spherical solid and is now only a shell. When the boolean is done it all gets screwed up. Try this – make sure that the head is a complete solid (no hole for the neck, eyes, mouth… nothing), then make sure the same is true for the nose (no nostrils, just like hayfever season). This should fix it. If not, I would be somewhat surprised. Also make sure that the normals are all correct before starting and do not double your polygons. If you have doubled polygons then you have created a "shell" without going to the trouble of creating a hole.
