How do you start rxvt-unicode? How do you create/attach to a session in
rxvt-unicode?

I haven't been able to reproduce this problem, unfortunately, so no.
Perhaps you could share your .screenrc with us, in case something in
there is triggering the issue?

What version of screen are you guys using? If you could try out the
current development version from git
(http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=screen.git) and see if the problem
is fixed there, that'd be very great.
