My .emacs file contains the line:
(global-set-key [M-backspace] 'backward-kill-word)
If I launch emacs from the command line, this has the normal behavior.
However, if I launch emacs in daemon mode, e.g. via
emacsclient -c -a ''
this definition gets clobbered and [M-backspace] is redefined as kill-word.
Some poking around in the bug base turns up:
http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=1960
http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=4709
and Google turns up:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2009-10/msg00471.html
These all appear to be aspects of the same base problem. That last URL
points the finger at normal-erase-is-backspace-mode, which appears to
be invoked after .emacs is loaded by the daemon code.

Thanks for the bug report, but as the bug database entries indicate, the
bug was fixed some time ago. I just checked, and could not reproduce
the problem on Emacs 23.4 or 24.x.

Which refers to a fix that appeared 2 years ago in 23.2, so sounds like
time to upgrade. (The latest release is 24.2.)
Please let us know if you still see this is issue in the latest Emacs,
and we can reopen this report if needed.
