I tried exactly same thing yesterday. But it didnt work at all, neither it worked in terminal, so I think that parsing <BS> is done at the end in the terminal ...
Output:jacq /tmp> /bin/echo -e "123\b45"
1245
jacq /tmp> /bin/echo -e "123\b45" | hexdump -C
00000000 31 32 33 08 34 35 0a |123.45.| # <-- still there
