Older versions of screen have kbs=\b set in the screen terminfo definitions; that might be the cause of this problem. Adjusting TERMCAP or the terminfo definition, or using a newer version of screen, should fix the problem, I believe.

This seems to happen when the thing that runs screen has the backspace key sending ctrl-? instead of ctrl-h. The problem is, the world is full of emacs users, and in his wisdom somewhere along the line RMS decided that backspace was the logical way to bring up help. The world changed to accommodate, but somewhere in recent history screen stopped playing that way for things like xterm and xterm-color. I haven't yet investigated whether screen or the definition of xterm and its sibling terminfos has changed yet.

setting TERM=screen before you run screen may help.
