I like it quite a bit too.

Yes, a confusing thing that the newer version does but the older
version did not do.  I wish it went back to the older configuration.
It makes logging into other systems which don't have screen installed
a problem.

You have two options.  You can start up screen with -T $TERM.

  screen -T $TERM

You can set 'term' to your prefered terminal type in your ~/.screenrc
file.  There is no best answer.  You may prefer ansi, vt100, xterm, or
another type of terminal.

  echo 'term ansi' >> ~/.screenrc
