I have created a version of the Jill demo "pl2000.mesh.1902042334" body model file that has a working head bone by way of hex editing. Normally she has a head bone, but it is not numbered and cannot be rigged to or used.
The head bone replaces the lower right necklace chain bone in the list, "b129:necklaceChain_right_FK_2". When imported into Max, the mesh looks like this:
You can skin things like hats, glasses, earrings, etc by rigging them to bone b129 and then exporting over my mesh file, and in-game they will move perfectly with her real head everywhere it goes. I would not recommend trying to use a necklace with this mesh though, unless you can get it to work without that part of the necklace chain.

You will also need the MDF file that goes with this demo version of Jill's model in order to use it, you can download that here:
pl2000.mdf2.13
Replace Jill's pl2000_figure.mdf and pl2000_01.mdf files with copies of this one to get it working through the whole game.
NOTE: It seems that the bone does not work in the dream at the start of the game, as Jill's model there is meant to not have any necklace or non-essential bones. I currently cannot find a way to fix it, but I will continue trying to find a real solution for it. So for the dream, when Jill's model changes to pl2900, I would recommend making a special "pl2900" mesh that lacks the head stuff, or make a special pl2900.MDF file that makes the materials on the head invisible during the dream.
Update 4/16 - I've made new versions of the head bone models.
Here is default Jill from the full game, with her head bone as b128:necklaceChain_right_FK_2

Here is a version of Jill's demo mesh where the head bone is set as b001:root instead of b129.

Here is the Classic costume with working head bone. It replaces b135:cardigan_01_chain_02 in the bones list.

You should be able to export Demo Jill over full-game Jill to make her into the full game version if you remove Demo Jill's b001:root bone from the list.
