Can't be done at the moment, sorry. It would make sense for the console to take the stty erase setting into account though. (I'll have a look at that.) Meanwhile, (u)rxvt, xterm and mintty all do have options for changing the backspace keycode, so unless you need to run native Windows programs that definitely require a console, you might prefer one of those.
