Ctrl+Backspace spits out squares rather than deletes words (Outlook 2007)

I'm re-posting this because I incorrectly mentioned that this problem was
resolved. It is not resolved. And I now have Office 2007 installed on my
workstation at the office and the exact same symptom is on that machine. It
never saw the beta version of Office 2007.

I have gotten into the habit of hitting Ctrl+Backspace to delete entire
words
of recently typed text. This is a great time saver. Unfortunately, in
Outlook 2007, I am seeing the e-mail editor spit out squares (i.e. valueless
Unicode character blocks). It's erratic; I can hold Ctrl down and keep
hitting Backspace and it might create two squares, maybe five squares, maybe
one, before it will finally "catch on" and start deleting words (squares
first) preceding the caret. It usually happens when I do it fast.

This is a nuisance and being as I have to deal with it in pretty much every
e-mail I send.
