I asked a friend, who is running Xubuntu feisty, to verify the behavior, and found that he did not have this problem when he was running an older version of screen (via an ssh session to another, Mandrake-based box). I can't think of any way that the fact ssh was involved could effect the behavior, so I'm guessing that it works with the older version of screen. Would be worth verifying that (a) it works as expected in some older version of screen (the version in this case would be 3.09.13), and (b) it is broken with latest upstream (IOW, not an Ubuntu-specific breakage).
