Can't be done at the moment, sorry. It would make sense for the
console to take the stty erase setting into account though. (I'll have
a look at that.)
Meanwhile, (u)rxvt, xterm and mintty all do have options for changing
the backspace keycode, so unless you need to run native Windows
programs that definitely require a console, you might prefer one of
those.
