Oh, I'm dumb. Leave it to me to ask right before I figure it out.
After years of using screen with this problem, I finally figured out
what the problem was:
I had set up a separate .bashrc to deal with setting screen-related
things which checked the existence of $STY (which screen sets when it
opens a prompt) before it continues. Apparently `su -' unsets that
variable.
