OK, I've changed SPECS/ncurses.spec and SOURCES/X11-PLD.patch (finding
no other reference to xterm-color, hope all other patches would match).

Erghhh... I've read about backarrowKeyIsErase:

   backarrowKeyIsErase (class BackarrowKeyIsErase)
Tie the VTxxx backarrowKey and ptyInitialErase resources together by
setting the DECBKM state according to whether the initial value of stty
erase is a backspace (8) or delete (127) character. The default is
``false'', which disables this feature.       

Indeed, this would be useful if we haven't had vt100.translations:
#override, but in our case it won't change anything, as well as
the backarrowKeyIsErase resource (as far as I can see, anyway this
resouce works backwards - looks for stty erase). Changing these two has
no effect.

There are two options which can set this, both having the same effect:

   ttyModes (class TtyModes)
[...]
This is very useful for overriding the default terminal settings without
having to do an stty every time an xterm is started.
[...]

   ptyInitialErase (class PtyInitialErase)
If ``true'', xterm will use the pseudo-terminal's sense of the stty
erase value. If ``false'', xterm will set the stty erase value to match
its own configuration, using the kb string from the termcap entry as a
                       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
reference, if available. [...] The default is ``false''.

That's why after changing ncurses it worked for you:) I've got old
terminfo and thus needed ttyModes or ptyInitialErase: true. My
suggestion is temporary solution for people not having current both
xterm and terminfo (or maybe add some R:?).

In my opinion it's all finished now. Any comments?
