If you are interested in this solution this is the patch:

With this patch you are going to have ^? in backspace and ^[[3~ in Delete,
and the terminfo definition is modified based in this change.
This configuration is more similar to the configuration of other systems,
so you will not have these problems. But, think in use another shell,
one that respect terminfo.
I am going to add this path to the wiki and add an entry to the FAQ
about this point.
