There appears to be a bug in tab2opf.py that adds empty idx:key tags, but even if you remove them and compile the dictionary with Mobipocket Creator or Kindlegen, it won't work with eInk Kindles.
Since the dictionary does work with Mobipocket Reader, Amazon most likely introduced a Koran dictionary bug in the Paperwhite firmware.
Please find attached the source files and the converted dictionary, which does not work with Kindles. (It displays the same random word no matter which word you look up.)

Thanks to the code2000.ttf font, Kindles and Kindle apps support pretty much any alphabet included in the Unicode 5.2 standard standard. There's no character mapping required unless the source files are non-Unicode files.
