Why do you expect that? I don't have a VT220 terminal currently, but I
believe that on such terminals Backspace generated delete and Delete
generated ^[[3~. And xterm is a VT220 emulator, so I would expect it to
behave in the same way. Most importantly, the values generated should
match the entries in termcap. As the termcap entry for xterm lists ^[[3~
as the value for the Delete key, that's what I would expect the Delete key
to generate.

IMHO the current behaviour is correct.

As the previous behaviour was incorrect, this is probably a fix.
