Should evil-mode perhaps trap <backspace> directly as well as DEL? Or is this a bug in haskell-mode, i.e. should haskell-mode be trapping DEL instead of <backspace>?

I'd say the latter: <backspace> is not available on terminals and specific to the GUI. The problem is that it is also more specific than DEL and therefore the conversion does not happen.

I see.

This also means that haskell-mode is probably broken on terminals.

Indeed it was. I submitted a fix to haskell-mode, which has now been accepted -- https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode/pull/291 . Thanks for the tip! -Keshav
