(Does wsconsctl always work for "all" keyboards?  Or is it possible
that you were setting the behavior for keyboard 0, while the PS/2
keyboard was positioned as keyboard 1?)

The keyboard that I'm using is on a PS/2 connector.  It is a
Microsoft "wave" ergonomic keyboard; although it comes with an
adaptor to plug into a USB port, it is natively a PS/2 keyboard.
I get the separable BackSpace/Delete keys, as I said.  I haven't
tried comparing to my NetBSD laptop nor with USB keyboards.
This is on NetBSD/amd64.  Same dmesg as Christopher reports.
