Those other sequences are handled in the same way as Ctl-Alt-BkSpc,
so it does point to the mapping for that one getting overriden after
the X server starts.

The only difference I see between yours and mine is that mine has the
following for the backspace key:
22 0xff08 (BackSpace) 0xfed5 (Terminate_Server)
while yours is:
22 0xff08 (BackSpace)

A way to double-check this is to run something like:
startx /path/to/your/twm
or just: 'XFree86'
and see if the server terminate sequence works then.
