1) Run emacs

2) Hit C-h k C-backspace 

   It replies (expected):

   <C-backspace> runs the command backward-kill-word, which is an
   interactive compiled Lisp function.

   It is bound to <C-backspace>.

   (backward-kill-word arg)

   Kill characters backward until encountering the beginning of a word.
   With argument arg, do this that many times.

3) Exit emacs

4) Run emacs --daemon

5) Run emacsclient -c

6) Hit C-h k C-backspace

   It tells (unexpected):

   <C-backspace> runs the command kill-visual-line, which is an
   interactive compiled Lisp function.

   It is bound to <deleteline>, <C-backspace>, C-k.

   (kill-visual-line &optional arg)

   Kill the rest of the visual line.
   If there are only whitespace characters there, kill through the
   newline as well.

   ...

The problem is not reproduced with emacs -Q. However, I could trace
down the problematic line in my .emacs (see listing below). The
problem is triggered by '(pc-selection-mode t) statement.

Please note that *do* like the [other] effects of PC Selection and
Visual Lines modes and I've turned them on on purpose.

My .emacs customizations:

;; --- Customized ---
(custom-set-variables
  ;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom.
  ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
  ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
  ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
