In order for backspace to work correctly in the scala console, you need to make sure your backspace key is sending the erase character as configured by stty.
For the default cygwin terminal (mintty) you can find a setting under Options -> Keys "Backspace sends ^H" which will need to be checked if your erase key is the cygwin default of ^H.

Other configurations are currently unsupported.
