Well, there's your problem. You told vim that the backspace key sends
0x7F, when in fact it sends 0x08 in your terminal emulator. Vim would
have done the correct thing, if it ever saw a backspace, but it never
saw 0x7F, only 0x08. :fixdel is archaic, and never necessary on modern
systems; moreover you should always understand what a command does
before trying to use it.
I can as easily say that backspace should always - I repeat always - do
a backspace.
BTW It would be exceedingly helpful if the documentation said exactly
what a command does instead of cryptically saying only:
t_kb <BS> backspace key *t_kb*
*'t_kb'*

I don't have a solution but I admire the problem.
