what in fact did happen. You don't know how to make a good report? See

* org-export--dispatch-action reads keys with read-event.
* On the NS/macOS build, the Delete/Backspace key yields the symbol backspace.
* The dispatcher advertises DEL, but its navigation loop accepts only character
127.
* read-key correctly produces 127.
* Adding this pcase clause fixes it:
('backspace ?\177)
As in:
(pcase (read-event prompt)
((or 'up
`(wheel-up . ,_)
`(double-wheel-up . ,_)
`(triple-wheel-up . ,_))
?\C-p)
((or 'down
`(wheel-down . ,_)
`(double-wheel-down . ,_)
`(triple-wheel-down . ,_))
?\C-n)
('backspace ?\d)
(event event)))
(not expertp)
;; FIXME: Don't use C-v (22) here, as it is used as a
;; modifier key in the export dispatch.
