Hmm,

what I see is C-M-h is by bound to mark-defun in elisp mode and 
c-mark-function in c-mode. The GNU emacs manual shows:

http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Moving-by-Defuns.html

C-M-h
    Put region around whole current or following defun (mark-defun). 

The backward-kill-word is bound to

http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Words.html

 M-<DEL>
	    Kill back to the beginning of a word (backward-kill-word).

and in my Emacs it works with M-<backspace> as well.

Did you do any swapping of <DEL> and C-h in your .emacs?
