It does what I would expect, it erases the t in cat and leaves me with ca,
no funny characters are printed.

The cursor moves to the right and no characters are deleted. Really quite
unnerving! ;-)

Not sure what you meant. In tmux when I press backspace at the shell prompt
I don't see anything happening. If I type at least one character then
backspace, then the cursor moves to the right one character.

For example if I type the letter c and backspace I get

%c
   ^
   |
   cursor points here, two chars after the c. 


It would seem, when I press backspace repeatedly the cursor goes forward as
many characters as were typed. It just seems to be going in the wrong
direction, and not deleting anything. Very very weird.
