We have similar problems on our Teleray 1061's (I know, Iknow, but they were
cheap, so the school bought them).  What's happening is that (you're on a
3Bx, aren't you?) is that the delete is being sign-extended, and then you're
(probably) ignoring Meta Bits, with the result that it looks just like what
a ^G would be.  I think you need to take a look at you're terminal
characteristics, and make sure it's sending the proper bits (I prefer 8bit
no parity).
This is just how I remember the problem; I wouldn't stake anything on it.
