That's okay, then. (You don't have reference to ^? or C-? either,
right? Okay, okay, just a check.)

Whee. So what might be wrong? Does it help to frob
normal-erase-is-backspace (from customize only, use function
normal-erase-is-backspace-mode from Lisp)?
And then, you can still do
(define-key emacs-lisp-mode-map (kbd "<delete>") 'delete-char)
I wonder if that does anything useful. (It takes effect only for
*.el files.)
