Things aren't quite as bad as you imply with fMRI Nick; there's been a lot of work about this in the last ten years!
Optical imaging experiments show how you can use direct observation of the brain to interrelate the changes seen with fMRI and neural activity. There are many more similar studies, all of which suggest a close correlation between neural activity and fMRI measurements. More recently people have begun comparing similar paradigms directly in macaque and human using fMRI and electrophysiology
