I would use the screw-type plasterboard fixings.

I have used these to hang radiators on the walls, and the radiator
weighs more when filled with water than any of the mirrors we have (and
that includes a mirror we have which is real plate glass and a heavy oak
frame).

Thanks, those babies look just the job. Presumably one drills a small
pilot hole in the wall, taps in the fitting and then screw into the
wall?

The more I think about it - and I realise this is famous last words,
tempting fate etc. - the more I think it ought to take one Hell of a
vertical force to pull any reasonably sized screw out of a plaster
board wall. No?
