I think you're right.  My brain is still full of crap.
The mapping is ignored because there's a binding for ?\C-?,
so you'd want to use key-translation-map instead:

    (define-key key-translation-map "\C-?" "\C-d")

As I said, it's probably better to fix your text-terminal to send
another key sequence than DEL.
