I've got a hack in /usr/local/etc/screenrc that reads:

    #
    #termcapinfo xterm 'kh=\E[1~:kI=\E[2~:kD=\E[3~:kH=\E[4~:kP=\E[H:kN=\E[6~'
    termcapinfo xterm 'kh=\E[1~:kI=\E[2~:kH=\E[4~:kP=\E[H:kN=\E[6~'
    termcapinfo xterm 'kD='

The kD= entry is the one that causes the backspace problem in my case.
