I think I figured it out! And it's not an xterm limitation but a GNU Emacs 
default.

With stty you need to make C-h and BS different in xterm etc., for example with

        stty erase '^?'

and in GNU Emacs perform

        (normal-erase-is-backspace-mode 0)

This will inhibit the default behaviour of remapping the two keys. The info 
node "59.1 If <DEL> Fails to Delete" seems to describe this. Even <ESC> C-h and 
<ESC> <BS> seem to be distinct.
