    I've tried playing with the
    various mouse button translations to make it behave like the R2
    selection highlighting, to no avail.

If you want essentially the same behavior as R2, you can override with the
translations:
      ~Meta <Btn2Up>:		insert-selection(CUT_BUFFER0)
      ~Meta <BtnUp>:		select-end(CUT_BUFFER0)
Note, however, that this will just put stuff in the cut buffer, not in
a selection.  We'll think about providing a way to turn off highlighting
without losing the selection.
