In `M-x term`, I type `ab`, press backspace, then `ab_` is visible (_

`home` and `end` buttons.

I can reproduce this, but I don't know why it's happening. I'll try to look into it. As a workaround, put the terminal in line-mode (`C-c C-j').

Problem solved: You need to install the terminfo-extra package. This provides the eterm-color terminal type, which is what `term' in emacs uses by default. I'll add this package as a dependency of emacs in the next release.
