1.- Edit /etc/ispcp/bind/parts/db_e.tpl
2.- Comment with ; the lines you want to custom (in your case the mx servers)
3.- You have to create the mx servers for EVERY domain in your system (you could use the CLI in http://www.isp-control.net/forum/thread-4255.html because i doesn't work from the panel)
4.- This should be working and permanent now ...

So essentially If I want to customise the A record on 1 domain I have to:

1. Make all domains have a custom A record
2. set all records on other domains to what they were before
3. set the record on the domain I wanted to change originally?

If so then that seems like a really bad design!

1. Make all domains have THAT custom A record (for example mail or www)
That's exactly what you have to do.
Keep in mind that the DNS stuff it's quite recent, so it has bugs and all that, if you prefer, you can edit the templates by hand, but that's more delicate and might get screwed.
If you are using the domain_dns.php then this process of creation can be scripted.
