I think there are three different parts to this...

1.  The nihongo locker does not have sun4x_56 in the arch directory.  Athena 
8.2 attempts to use a fall back, but issues the warning using compatibility 
mode

2.  The backspace and delete key usage is no longer modified.  They are now 
producing the correct codes so that they work with most packages without 
modification.  In some cases this does mean that they act differently than 
before.  For further information about changes in this release, please see 
http://web.mit.edu/olh/Release/8.2/

3.  Something (mule/Emacs) told you that it couldn't find a lisp library at 
/usr/athena/lib/elisp

Perhaps the nihongo locker maintainers can provide more information.

Thank you for using Athena.

:)What should have happened:
