Well, I strongly dislike having an eraser tool that behaves differently based on a property of an image you can't even see. It really stinks. What I'd prefer to see is a "replace color" paint tool that can handle bgs or any other layer the way eraser works now on a bg layer. Keeping the user experience the same between versions is not a good thing when the user experience sucks.
