Great thanks for all your time and investigation into this; I have to
admit that I don't fully understand it all, but I do have a much
clearer picture. Just let me know if you come up with any possible
fixes or workarounds and I'll be more than happy to test them. In the
mean time, I just made delete-word and backward-delete-word functions
and bound them to C-<delete> and C-<backspace>. Rarely did I ever
really want words thus removed put into the kill ring anyway,
especially when I used them in the minibuffer e.g. editing a file
name.
