That doesn't, in my experience, work reliably, and it seems worst when
dealing with unicode and some of the other extended encodings. (The GB
stuff's bad too) May well be some bizarre interaction between OS X's
terminal and screen, but I regularly end up with sessions that, if started
with gnome's terminal, don't display right with OS X's terminal, and vice
versa. (though they display just fine when using the original terminal
program when reconnecting)
