Hmmm, I remember having seen such a problem on Debian GNU/kFreeBSD
years ago. For some reason the "kill -WINCH" (WINCH = window change)
wasn't propagated correctly inside the screen back then. Maybe a "kill
-WINCH" on either the SCREEN process or the process running inside the
screen helps.

Or is this due to a serial terminal which expects the frontend to be
fixed at 80x24?

                Kind regards, Axel
