The above patch applies to Konsole in trunk (KDE 4.0).

Already committed for KDE 4 is support for an 'Erase' command which can be set as the result for a key sequence.  eg:

key Backspace : Erase

When backspace is pressed, this will be translated into the erase character used by the terminal.

I have not committed it yet because I haven't tested it on any system other than my Ubuntu Linux 6.10 desktop.  I looked at the xterm code which gets/sets the terminal attributes including the erase character on startup, but it is very convoluted with #ifdefs everywhere.
