Comment (by dgilman):

 I opened this bug with GNU screen over the summer, it hasn't moved since:
 https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?54556

 I noticed it had to do with a term variable of xterm-256color, and
 probably the hyphen in that name. screen has its own code to generate a
 TERMCAP environment variable and as far as I know there is some sort of
 bug with its generation of TERMCAPs that it isn't handling something
 right.

 I'm not a curses wizard but it appears that this whole TERMCAP environment
 variable business is archaic. I looked for a way to drop it entirely (some
 sort of compile-time flag?) but this TERMCAP generation was wedded pretty
 heavily into GNU screen. I think I need feedback from the upstream about
 how to proceed from here on out.
