You are starting Vim without a vimrc file and without the -N
argument. Therefore it is in 'compatible' mode, as Christian
suspected. In 'compatible' mode (see ":help 'cp'"), the 'backspace'
option is set to "", the Vi-compatible setting, so you cannot
backspace over the start of indent (see ":help 'bs'").
I don't know why changes don't appear until after you exit insert
mode, but I see that behavior in 'compatible' mode, too.
To fix these issues, start Vim as
HOME=/dev/null vim -N
