 Not unless it's done in the lfs-bootscripts.

I don't believe it is, because my 6.1 system (using the lfs-bootscripts)
doesn't do it.

 When I compiled the kernel, I turned off Legacy (BSD) PTY support. 
 I'll build another kernel and add that back and see if that makes a 
 difference.

I don't think it will -- I have it off here too.  But it'd be worth a
shot.

 Did you say you were using some kind of framebuffer console?  Does 
 it help at all if you change that, or did you try that already?
 
 No.  I do use vga=0x0f07 on the kernel line, but that shouldn't 
 affect input.

Well, in theory no, but if vesafb (or whatever) uses a different line
discipline, it might.

That is exactly what I am running into.
Do you have a /etc/sysconfig/console file? Or did you leave it alone? 
Guess I'm wondering if you have a keymap that needs fixing as is 
mentioned here:

I left it alone.  Evey line is commented out.

I thought of that, but no, I have a standard US keyboard and I skipped 
that section.

 A Ctrl-h works properly as a backspace should.

I cannot reproduce this on any of the builds I've done since the middle
of March (i.e. the only ones I have around).

 showkey says the backspace keycode is 14.
 dumpkeys says keycode 14 is Delete.

Same here, so I doubt that is the problem. Perhaps vim somehow
miscompiled? I have full logs for vim if you want to compare.

Yes, that would be good.  Please send off list.
BTW, I have fixed the symptom with an addition to /etc/vimrc with:
if term == linux
  set t_kb=^?
endif
where the ^? is really a delete character created by a ctrl-v BS-key.
I would really like to find the problem and fix it however.
