mintty ^H/^? bug

I think there's a minor bug in the way mintty handles the ^H/^? option 
for the Backspace key.  Suppose you have mintty set up so that Backspace 
sends ^H (the default).  You then use the options menu to change this so 
that Backspace sends ^?.  Then stty -a still shows erase = ^H, and some 
applications don't work as expected.  (But BackspaceSendsDEL=1 has been 
written to .minttyrc, and everything is OK in *future* instances of mintty.)
