I don't think so. bind-key looks to be for commands only, not a general
translation mechanism.

Yes, so do I, and I noticed that if I happen to access my systems from
Linux, then tmux won't translate characters for use in utf8 terminals.

I am also surprised by the high cpu time usage of tmux. I wonder what it
is doing in all that time? The FAQ mentions something about automatic
window renaming or somesuch - I'm going to try turning that off and see
if that helps.

I used screen before, and there the problem doesn't exist at all. It
took a while to discover it in tmux because many programs can use
whatever is set for the erase character, including bash. I noticed it in
mutt, where ^H scrolls back a single line in a mail message.
I have also mailed to the tmux-users mailing list, and I have discovered
which code seems to be responsible for the translation:
/*
* Check for backspace key using termios VERASE - the terminfo
* kbs entry is extremely unreliable, so cannot be safely
* used. termios should have a better idea.
*/
bspace = tty->tio.c_cc[VERASE];
if (bspace != _POSIX_VDISABLE && key == bspace)
key = KEYC_BSPACE;
in cvs/src/external/bsd/tmux/dist/tty-keys.c. Note that KEYC_BSPACE is
'\177' or ASCII DEL, not backspace.
