I think that rxvt has the functionality which you require. For example:
rxvt -backspacekey ^? -deletekey ^h
will give you a session in which the backspace key generates ^h and the delete key generates ^?. (It might then be useful to issue stty -erase ^? so that you can use the backspace key to delete characters in simple terminal input.)
In the case of emacs, have you tried running it under X11? In this mode it can distinguish between the backspace key (which it interprets as a 'delete last character' function) and ^h (which calls the help command).
