:set nodigraph

:help digraphs-use
I suspect that you have a ":set digraph" line in your vimrc, which makes
<character><BS><character> active (in addition to the always-available
<Ctrl-K><character><character>) as an additional method of producing foreign
characters by means of digraphs. If you have that line, remove it to disable
the strange behaviour you've been seeing. You'll still be able to use the
other (Ctrl-K prefix) method, which won't interfere with your use of the
backspace key.
(Note: aa is the digraph for the letter å, and ae for æ.)
Best regards,
Tony.
