Yes, houra is logged.  And with:
  (setq inhibit-default-init t) ; and
  (normal-erase-is-backspace-mode 1) ; it still leaves
C-h bound to delete-backward-char, and
DEL translated to C-d bound to delete-char

It's been that way forever (20,7, 21.[123], 22.0.50.*).


(After I run manually M-x normal-erase-is-backspace-mode RET
C-h is prefix for help, and
DEL is bound to delete-backward-char, as expected).
