I'm not sure I agree with this.

The delete key removes characters to the right of the cursor, the backspace key removes characters to the left of it.

I would expect to have to use backspace to delete a quote box as technically it is to the left of the cursor.

I agree with @Paul B on this and, incidentally, the future editor behaves the same way and we don't intend to change that behaviour.
