Correct.

It's code="DELETE", not code="BACK_SPACE" for this one.

(This is the only specification which is consistent with the DeleteChar 
part of the command.)

Press the BACK_SPACE key at the *beginning* of *second* para, not the 
DELETE key.

Alternatively move the caret to the *end* of *first* para and press the 
DELETE key.

Moreover, for block-related commands like 
"deleteSelectionOrJoinBlockOrDeleteChar" to work, your configuration 
file must contain a <cfg:property> called "$c blockList" (where $c is 
automatically replaced by the name of the configuration):

DocBook v5 example:
---
   <property name="$c blockList">
     {http://docbook.org/ns/docbook}bridgehead=heading
     {http://docbook.org/ns/docbook}simpara
     {http://docbook.org/ns/docbook}term
     {http://docbook.org/ns/docbook}para=paragraph

{http://docbook.org/ns/docbook}itemizedlist/{http://docbook.org/ns/docbook}listitem

{http://docbook.org/ns/docbook}orderedlist/{http://docbook.org/ns/docbook}listitem
     {http://docbook.org/ns/docbook}callout
     {http://docbook.org/ns/docbook}step
   </property>

   <binding>
     <keyPressed code="DELETE" />
     <command name="deleteSelectionOrJoinBlockOrDeleteChar" />
   </binding>

   <binding>
     <keyPressed code="BACK_SPACE" />
     <command name="deleteSelectionOrJoinBlockOrDeleteChar"
              parameter="backwards" />
   </binding>
