Hm, this works for me without any customization.  I think it's a terminfo
thing.

In mintty, when you go to Options > Terminal, what does Type say?  Mine is
xterm-256color.  Try setting this to xterm or xterm-256color, then starting
a new screen session and see if that fixes it.

Within screen my $TERM is screen-256color, but I don't think that matters.
