I've tested your patch with a few more terminal types: xfce4-terminal
0.8.7.1, KDE5's konsole, and qterminal 0.8.0, and it only fails with
qterminal (which is most likely a qterminal problem; a newer qterminal
version might not have the problem, but I haven't been able to upgrade
it yet):

With patch applied:

xfce4-terminal-0.8.7.4:
 - del: Works as intended (erases one char)
 - keypad del: Works as intended (erases one char)
 - ctrl+del: Works as intended (erases one word)
 - ctrl+keypad del: Works as intended (erases one word)

konsole (from KDE5-Plasma-17.08.3):
 - del: Works as intended (erases one char)
 - keypad del: Works as intended (erases one char)
 - ctrl+del: Works as intended (erases one word)
 - ctrl+keypad del: Works as intended (erases one word)

qterminal 0.8.0 (from LXQt-0.12; derived from old KDE4 Konsole):
 - del: Works as intended (erases one char)
 - keypad del: Works as intended (erases one char)
 - ctrl+del: Erases one char
 - ctrl+keypad del: Erases one char

With patch applied and -K:

xfce4-terminal-0.8.7.4:
 - del: Works as intended (erases one char)
 - keypad del: Works as intended (erases one char)
 - ctrl+del: Works as intended (erases one word)
 - ctrl+keypad del: Works as intended (erases one word)

konsole (from KDE5-Plasma-17.08.3):
 - del: Works as intended (erases one char)
 - keypad del: Works as intended (erases one char)
