Actually, it's even easier than that, guys and gals.  One of the options
on the Edit sub-menu of the Dial menu is, you guessed it, "Rcvd BS is dest",
or (translated to English) "Recieved Backspace is destructive".  Simply
edit all the numbers in your dialing directory and turn this off, and you
will be a happy camper.

And, by the way, "Rcvd BS is dest" is _always_ by default ON, even when you
have "Recieved Backspace destructive" set to OFF on the Telix options/terminal
menu.  C'est bug?  Oui, en petite bug.
