 This the wrong fix, you should add a windows-nt case to this

 ;; Trash me, baby.
 (defsubst delete-forward-p ()
   (and delete-key-deletes-forward
        (or (not (eq (device-type) 'x))
 	   (x-keysym-on-keyboard-sans-modifiers-p 'backspace)))) 
Nope.  The function begins with `(and delete-key-deletes-forward',
which means that whatever you do later is void if the variable is nil.
