When attempting to upgrade from 4.9.1 to 5.0.1 I find that screen switched from ending lines with ^M to an escape sequence. It's possible to see this by running screen inside an xterm and using its "log to file" feature.

4.9.1:
    ice 139 % cat -v Xterm.log.ice.alameda.xse.com.2025.05.14.18.47.30.4681
    screen -dR test^M^M
    ^[[1mice 1 % date^M
    Mon May 19 15:49:28 PDT 2025^M
    ^[[1mice 2 % ^[[mexit^M
    exit^M
    ^[[?1l^[>^[[34;1H^M
    [screen is terminating]^M
    ice 137 % ice 140 %

5.0.1
    ice 143 % cat -v Xterm.log.ice.alameda.xse.com.2025.05.19.15.35.16.5835
    screen -dR test^M^M
    ^[[1mhot 1 % ^[[mexit^[[H
    exit^[[2;1H
    ^[[?1l^[>^[[34;1H^M
    [screen is terminating]^M

Is there a way to go back to the 4.X behavior?
