Solved the issue... it was not STFL's problem, neither

True, setting "bce on" from within screen works just fine. Question
remains whether it's STFL's or curses' fault to use bce though it's
not advertised...
Thanks,

This is called background-colour-erase (BCE) and is not supported by
tmux.
Applications should not depend on this behaviour unless the bce flag
capability is in the terminfo description and for TERM=screen it is not:
$ infocmp -x xterm|grep bce
OTbs, am, bce, km, mc5i, mir, msgr, npc, xen
Hi!
I'm not quite sure what to make of this. Both screen and tmux won't
handle terminfo's "el" and "ed" (clear to end of line/display) the way
I think it should work. Consider:
echo `tput setab 2`foo`tput el`"\r"
I would expect to find the line cleared (and colored!) until the end.
In XTerm
