Delete key not working in GHCi

In GHCi 6.10.1, on Ubuntu with libedit 2.11, pressing the delete key produces a beep and inserts a tilde into the line rather than deleting a character.

http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=294 is essentially the same problem, but in MySQL. It seems they fixed it by reverting to using libreadline.
