Actually, it's just re-occurred to me that a radio button 'group'
doesn't necessarily contain only radio buttons, but also any dependent
controls.  For example:

http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gap/guide/gad/gad-ui-guidelines.html#GAD-KEYNAV-EXAMPLES

We need to make sure that tab and arrow keys do something sensible in
these cases, too... (the desirable tab behaviour is suggested on that
page, but not the desirable arrow key behaviour).  Maybe it just works
with the scheme you describe anyway, I haven't really thought it
through.

Cheeri,
Calum.
