Right; screen has always done this, since the terminal it presents to
subshells (true ANSI X3.64 with colors) is different from the terminal
you used to run it.  I used to use screen on old z19 terminals so I
could run programs that hardcoded ANSI escape sequences in them. 
What's important is that the TERM you have before you run screen
matches your terminal/emulator as closely as possible.
