There is one unwritten rule that has no adverse effect on others and that is to "stagger". If I am in the inside lane with the intent of exiting in that lane, and there is a vehicle on my immediate right, I slow enough so if he intends to improperly proceed around to the next exit, I can let him safely pass in front of me.

This is part of what I do not understand...
How is it improper for the guy in the right lane to proceed if he just entered the roundabout and wants to go straight and I entered the roundabout one entrance before for him into the left lane and now I want to exit to go straight. To me it seems that the right lane should be for right turns only.

I like the stagger idea, but as you say it is an unwritten rule.
