No.
What is your pager?
Could you try with:
<Ctrl-A>H (to save the output in ~/screenlog.n)
PAGER=cat man xterm
and
PAGER=cat TERM=xterm-256color man xterm
And look at the corresponding line in screenlog.n.
Here, in any case, I get:
-^H-1^H13^H32^H2 Normally, the VT102 DECCOLM escape
or if I reenable grotty's sgr that debian disabled (in
/etc/groff/man.local).
^[[1m-132 ^[[22mNormally, the VT102 DECCOLM
(note that \e[22m is in no terminfo entry, so I guess
grotty doesn't use the terminfo database)
So, it may be your pager that behaves differently in one case
and the other, but I can't think why. I can see no problem with
either of more, less, most, pg or w3m here.
Also what is the value of $TERM before you start screen? It
is important that it is xterm-256color so that screen knows the
terminal capabilities.
