I don't think so. The code in question is:

  km_bindkey ("<backspace>", MENU_EDITOR, OP_EDITOR_BACKSPACE);
  km_bindkey ("<delete>", MENU_EDITOR, OP_EDITOR_BACKSPACE);
  km_bindkey ("\177", MENU_EDITOR, OP_EDITOR_BACKSPACE);
      
i.e., even if you have them set separate correctly, they're all
mapped to the same thing.
