 I am not sure why does this happen, but there are basically 2 variables
here: the terminal and the terminfo database. And infocmp command should
give you the information about both, as it shows the current terminal and
"kdch1" capability value (which corresponds to the Del key). So it should
be possible to debug this by comparing its output in the various cases.

 Hope this helps at least a little,
