Public bug reported: In prior releases, irssi was published without the 18bind_utf8-fix patch which was designed to fix a problem with binds and utf8 keys. This breaks the default behavior of alt-backspace, which is to delete the prior word (much the same as ctrl-w does).
The upstream bug is located at http://bugs.irssi.org/index.php?do=details&task_id=553 I've attached an untested patch (written by Marien Zwart (marienz)) that seeks to correct this.
