I second that. Please please please keep the backspace as alternative for back button. Everyone I know in the (Swiss) company where I work (still forced to use Netscape 4.x) curses Netscape mainly because the backspace button "doesn't work" as expected, i.e. go back in history. IMO it is an arrogant and purist attitude (which alienates users) to persist in disabling this. If you don't like it, then at least make it a user option. As for the other issue, no-cache resulting in re-reading on going back in history, that is pretty damn irritating indeed.
