I did it, but it was nearly one year and a half ago, and it's not at all
unaccounted.

NSBackspaceKey is used since Mon Sep 4 2000, when the backend code
processing character events was totally rewritten.  The ChangeLog entry
for that change says -

Mon Sep  4 03:15:09 2000  Nicola Pero  <nicola@brainstorm.co.uk>

        * Source/SharedX/XGContextEvent.m (process_key_event): Corrected
        the code to process key events: now the keycode is the hardware
        code, and the unicode value of the key is reported in characters.
        (process_char): New function replacing process_key_code.  This
        function was rewritten to be simpler.

Processing of the backspace key was done inside process_key_code.
'rewritten' implies you can forget what was done before, now it's done in
a different way :-)
