I start viper, then hit i to enter insert mode, then type a
character, then hit DEL.  Then C-y inserts that character.

But without viper, DEL doesn't kill, it just deletes.

How to turn it off?

Hm.  Oh.  I see that you can't turn it off.  I'll ask the developers.
Would people be interested in making DEL delete instead of kill?

I'll vote for a non-killing DEL in insert mode -- since undo is
available to recover the deleted char.
