I just ran into the same problem on a virtual host.  The following

set t_kb=^?
(where the '^?' was entered by typing Ctrl+V Backspace in insert mode.
NOT circumflex + question mark -- see :help i_CTRL-V )

it seems that this works! I have no idea why, but it really seem to work. Thanks a lot!

In your .vimrc that you included in your earlier message, you appeared
to not type (in insert mode) Ctrl+V Backspace, but rather had the
literal text (^) followed by (h), which seems backwards from what you
want anyway.  (If you're getting ^? when you type 'Backspace', you
should set t_kb to that value... but using the literal terminal
characters.)
