Screen sometimes breaks deleting for me too.

Outside screen, <- sends ^? and my stty settings expect that.

If TERM=xterm-color:
  Inside screen, <- sends ^[[3~ but stty settings expect ^?.
  The bindkey line from old versions of screen has no effect on this.

If TERM=xterm:
  Inside screen, <- sends ^? and stty settings expect that.

The reason I sometimes have TERM=xterm-color is that that's what
Apple's Terminal.app sets.  Since ncurses applications at least seem
to recognize TERM=xterm as a color terminal anyway setting that solves
my immediate problem, though of course it would be nice if screen
could "just work" without having to remember workarounds.

I don't think this can be the whole story; apparently the terminal can
affect things in an unhelpful way too.

I'm using screen 4.0.2-4.1 though I notice that 3.9.11-5woody1 has the
same behaviour.
