The current situation is that the problem only occurs (for me) if the
Maori keyboard layout is installed in the Keyboard Layouts Plugin. If it
is not, then most layouts that use AltGr combinations do work, such as
Croatian, German, French, US International layouts, etc.  For example,
with the Croatian layout, I can type characters like \|€¶ŧ←↓→øþ÷× on the
top row with AltGr depressed. If the Maori keyboard is in the list, and
I have the Croatian layout selected, I get the diamond characters when I
use the AltGr key (and also if I actually select the Maori layout).

The other issue is that there is no Hawaiian layout in the list. As
mentioned above, I created one which is similar to the Maori layout with
the addition of the symbol for a glottal stop, called "ʻokina" in
Hawaiian. Hereʻs a wikipedia link regarding this:

Here is a new diff file for /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us with the
ʻokina supported.
