Maybe you have an old version? Get 1.3.10 from nano's site, it's a development version but seems pretty stable.

have the nano -V

GNU nano version 1.2.4 (compiled 17:34:47, Apr 9 2005)

I think that's the latest stable, it obviously doesn't have delete rebinding yet. Like I said, try the new development version (1.3.10). In addition you will also get a well working UTF-8 support and a bunch of other new features

I've had no problems with it so far.
