Hmmm... for me on 0.84 with SunOS 4.1.4/X11R6.1 it's exactly the
reverse: backspace works and DELETE doesn't (which happens to be just
fine with me, since I never touch the DELETE key).

You might be able to fiddle with xmodmap(1) to make your keyboard do
the right thing. See the man page for more details.
