It sounds like the backspace key outputs a key sequence that is bound to
`delete-char' instead of `backward-delete-char'. There are no key sequences
bound to `delete-char' by default, so it must be happening in one of your
startup files.

(And readline-8.0 is over five years old. The current version is 8.2.)
