OK, my machine.

Wait a minute - your xterm doesn't set stty erase to '^H' !?

The same scenario works for me. It didn't without stty erase on the
remote side. I'm using both xterms - from XFree86 and X11.org.

I'm wondering if Debian is not trying to fix the world. For now we know:

                PLD     Debian  RH/FC   others...       ideal

xterm           ^H      ^?                              ^H or ^?
generates

kbs for         ^H      ^H      ^H                      ^H or ^?
xterm-color

stty after      not     propagated                      propagated
remote login    set


In Debian backspace bindings doesn't work unless terminal is specified
as xterm-debian.
