I hope I'm not hijacking this thread, but I want to do the same thing
for ido.  I recently started using it and I don't like how C-
<backspace> works when completing files and directories.  I tried to
set the keybind via local-set-key, define-key (on ido-competion-map),
and local-unset-key; I used these methods after loading ido and in ido-
setup-hook.  Nothing worked.  Then I looked at ido.el and saw that it
does [remap backward-kill-word], which is what I have C-<backspace>
bound to globally.  After reading the manual, it seems like there is
no way to recover a remapped command.  Is this true or am I
overlooking something?  Is ido being heavy-handed here, and should not
be using remap?

Thanks,
