$ xkbcomp :0 default.xkb
$ vi default.xkb
comment out the two rules that cause syntax errors:
// interpret AccessX_Enable+AnyOfOrNone(all) {
// action= ""> // };
// interpret MouseKeys_Accel_Enable+AnyOfOrNone(all) {
// action= ""> // };
Now you can restore the settings back by running
$ xkbcmp default.xkb :0
if you screw up and end up with a nonfunctional keyboard.
Next
$ cp default.xkb mg.xkb
$ vi mg.xkb
key <RGHT> {
type= "FOUR_LEVEL",
symbols[Group1]= [ Right, Right, Tab, Tab ]
};
$ xkbcomp mg.xkb :0
and now Fn+Right arrow is a Tab key.
Sadly I don't know enough about xkbcomp to see if it's possible to make
it load incomplete maps on top of the current configuration, just to
update a few symbols without replicating the full configuration.
Maybe the files in /var/cache/xkb contain precompiled versions of those?

I'm not adventurous enough to go and start editing files in /usr/.
Although creating a new symbols file in there and loading it on top of
the defaults with setxkbmap ought to maybe work...
Thank you for your help. That works to get me started.
Now to return your favour:
Replace
type= "FOUR_LEVEL",
symbols[Group1]= [ Right, Right, Tab, Tab ]
with
type= "PC_FN_LEVEL2",
symbols[Group1]= [ Right, Tab ]
and you will retain the ability to highlight text with shift-right arrow.
