I found the problem, finally.
It turns out that this file:
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/XTerm
...has a customization that ends up causing my XTerm*backarrowKey: true
directive to be ignored. Specifically, "*backarrowKeyIsErase: true" is what
was shooting me in the foot.
I'll file a bug report. This will bite people. It's non-standard behaviour
for no intelligible reason.
