When using term-mode in emacs, with nodejs or mongo's REPL,
<backspace> doesn't work. Below is a simple senario:

$ nodejs
> something

When I hit <backspace>, instead of deleting 'g', i will get
> something> somethin

It looks like the original string is copied to output while deleting
'g'.

However, the problem doesn't exist on other REPL. I've tried python,
lua, mysql, <backspace> works as expected.

The problem still exists when starting emacs with -q option. I also
tried to install a fresh emacs on a fresh ubuntu vm, and on Mac, but that
won't help.
