Just to refresh my memory, I checked infocmp and see that xterm-color's kdch1 is (other than in Debian) \E[3~
(using infocmp):
comparing xterm-r6 to xterm-color.
comparing booleans.
comparing numbers.
colors: NULL, 8.
ncv: NULL, NULL.
pairs: NULL, 64.
comparing strings.
op: NULL, '\E[m'.
setab: NULL, '\E[4%p1%dm'.
setaf: NULL, '\E[3%p1%dm'.
Noting that xterm-color is defined using xterm-r6, I checked the Debian
package for ncurses to see if there was some additional insight.
Checking
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/n/ncurses/ncurses_5.6+20080823-1.diff.gz
I see that the diff includes a copy of xterm's terminfo from 2005 - perhaps
from this item:

In _that_ terminfo, the xterm-r6 entry uses kdch1=\177, but that is
not true for more recent xterm's terminfo. (There are other changes,
which I don't recall at the moment, mostly dealing with xterm's
modified keys - which I'm told don't work well with vim due to a bug in
vim).
A quick check of ncurses shows xterm-r6 using kdch1=\E[3~ for more than
ten years.
xterm's terminfo history shows this detail was resync'd to ncurses in
the changes for patch #230 (actually in 2007/11/10).
