I noticed using Terminal to connect via SSH to an IPv6 server and opening a file with nano, character repeats and skipping of the display when pressing and holding backspace or when typing rapidly. This is only new since I installed OS X 10.7 Lion. I seem to have solved the issue by going into Preferences for Terminal.app and selecting the Advanced tab and changing Declare terminal as: to xterm-color from xterm256-color.
Hopefully this helps someone else.

Had the same problem, and that looks to have fixed it. Thanks!
this is very frustrating, as one of the main reasons I upgraded to 10.7 was the promise of a vastly improved Terminal.
I changed the prefs as you suggested, and it is helping on some windows, but it seems worse with non-standard font sizes, such as when in full screen mode or CMD+ resized windows.
I use Terminal for SSH all day every day, nano frequently, and I cannot afford to have broken config files due to this problem.
Thanks for your tip, I just needed to make that change for every style of terminal, not just the default style.
Still, it was frustrating for several days!
You are a legend! This has been bugging me for ages :D
