Ah, right, it would cause the DEL to also emit the eldoc info.

Using a buffer-local eldoc-message-commands which only contains
self-insert-command would also fix this bug.

I think the idea is fine, but using post-self-insert-hook turns out to
be a bad idea, I think (tho I liked it, initially).
Could you try and re-implement it as a minor mode that enables
eldoc-mode and tweaks eldoc-message-commands buffer-locally, to see if
that works better?
