Are you sure? It does not even work under a plain linux login (no x-server 
started).

Surprisingly it works fine under gvim.

Hmm in order to reproduce your solution I've installed xterm and noted 
SHIFT-RIGHT under vim under xtmrm *removes* lines in insert mode (before and 
after set t_%i...).

^K<S-Right> prints here [1;2C too.
