Hm. Well, I've noticed it affecting me with the following programs:
pine (version 3.96L-2, libc5)
pico (version 3.96L-2, libc5)
ncftp (version 2.4.2-1, libc5)
screen (version 3.7.2-5, libc6) -- programs running under screen have this
problem. For example, mutt works ok normally, but not under screen. Same
with joe and zsh.
dselect (dpkg version 1.4.0.19, libc6)
If you like, I'll rebuild any of these in libc6 version, and see if they
still have the prbolem. But I think it's clear libc6 programs have the
problem too.

See #1 above.
Also, note that ctrl-h does what backspace should do in all of these.
