The arguments now being presented by some Corbyn supporters are as follows:
a) that the actual perpetrators of the Munich atrocity were not buried in the cemetery
b) that the men who are buried there weren't in Black September or weren't important figures

Point A is undoubtedly true. The five terrorists killed at the scene were buried in Libya. The others were captured at the scene. Evolvepolitics, a pro Corbyn site, casts further doubt that the men in the cemetery were responsible for Munich.

This thread will provide further context to Corbyn's visit to the cemetery in Tunisia in 2014. The photographs cited mainly come from the Palestinian Embassy in Tunisia facebook page and this news site: bit.ly/2KOwNng

Firstly let us look at the location. The cemetery is in the south east part of the capital, Tunis. Here is an image from Google Earth showing the entire complex (which is not that large).

There are two main areas of greenery. A larger area to the right, and a smaller space to the left. However, it is only in the latter that we see the distinctive rust-red roofing shown in the pictures where Corbyn is present.
