I did the same for my hand luggage - vac packed clothes and put them in there. My hand luggage was over and all the girl asked was if I had a laptop in there - showed it to her and she let me on my merry way :) Regarding the one way ticket... I came out 3 weeks ago on a one way ticket... Immigration were absolutely fine - I was asked why I put 180 days on my landing card and if I had a return ticket - explained I had a PR application in and the guy was fine - and didn't stamp my passport with an entry date.
