This should already have been dealt with by an earlier patch:
Patch #197 - 2004/11/30 - XFree86 4.4.99.19
* for Linux, if IUTF8 is defined, e.g., on recent 2.6.x kernels, set
the corresponding flag for the slave pty, to enable UTF-8
interpretation of backspace in cooked mode (Freedesktop.org
Bugzilla #1578, request by Stefan Dirsch).
Is this still a problem?
