I'm baffled!
That doesn't sound unreasonable if the browser was opened first. If so,
it might be a good idea to run the command in a terminal and then open
the browser to see if it makes a difference. Be sure to leave the
terminal open until after you see what the browser does, as that may
make a difference as well.
As I said, I ran the command from the .xsession file which (presumably)
runs during the desktop session start, i.e. before anything else. The
fact that it had an effect on the terminal (konsole) keyboard but not
within the browser is what confuses me.
However there is a further data point: the browser in question is
Chrome. When I try it in Firefox, the result is correct. Other input
dialogues such as the KDE settings panel, or indeed this instance of
Evolution, also work correctly.
IOW it looks like something specific to Chrome.

If you want this to work in a terminal under the aegis of X server, then
you need to do something like:
xmodmap -e "keycode 22 = BackSpace"
xmodmap -e "keycode 107 = Delete"
But of course, it depends on what key it is you wish to modify.
Another way is to have translations in your .Xdefaults file, such as
*xterm.Translations: #override\n\
<Key>BackSpace: string(0x08)\n\
<Key>Delete: string(0x7F)\n\
<Key>Home: string("\033[1~")\n\
<Key>End: string("\033[4~")
<KeyPress>Prior : scroll-back(1,page)\n\
<KeyPress>Next : scroll-forw(1,page)
again, it depends on what key(s) you wish to modify.
