It's definitely a bug in the termcap entry. The odd thing is what happened
afterward. Emacs created an input mapping that converts 177 into
deletechar, messing up the action of the normal delete/backspace key.
There's an assumption that function keys never generate a single character
that's the same as some normal key. Or alternatively, function keys take
precedence over normal keys if there's any overlap in generated codes.
