I confirm this on Kubuntu 8.10 using

ii  systemsettings                            4:4.1.2-0ubuntu11                
          KDE 4 System Settings
ii  kdebase-bin                               4:4.1.2-0ubuntu4                 
          core binaries for the KDE 4 base module
ii  kdebase-data                              4:4.1.2-0ubuntu4                 
          shared data files for the KDE 4 base module


Workaround:
> xmodmap -e "remove Lock = Caps_Lock"
(or add "remove Lock = Caps_Lock" to your ~/.Xmodmap file)

Also, after replacing original Caps_Lock with Backspace, the key should be set
to auto-repeat (similar to the real Backspace key). Workaround:
> xset r 66
