Not a bug. scroll-margin is only in effect when window is _scrolled_
due to cursor motion commands. In this case, <backspace> causes the
buffer to be emptied, and an entirely different text be inserted into
it. There's no scrolling here, thus scroll-related variables are
never consulted in this case.
The Emacs User manual clearly starts the section that describes these
variables with this:
Emacs performs "automatic scrolling" when point moves out of the
visible portion of the text.
IOW, scroll-margin determines when automatic scrolling is triggered,
but not where point can be legitimately located in a window.
