OK, looks like ssh (sshd) is fine... it's tset that's the culprit. The default
.login (/usr/src/etc/skel/dot.login) does: eval `tset -s -m 'network:?xterm'`
If that line is commented out, the erase character is properly preserved. It
seems that set.c r1.18 is related:
Restore logic for setting the VERASE character.
- use terminfo _unless_ the terminal does overstrike.
- use terminfo data not only for an unset tty.
Why "use terminfo" if the tty is already set?
