I've had a quick look, and with TERM=xterm-256color I find that screen sends the DECCOLM sequence '\e[?3l' for putting a terminal into 80-column mode. For some reason, this doesn't happen with TERM=xterm, so there's one workaround. Another would be to find the relevant setting in the screen terminal. But there is an incompatibility with xterm here. Xterm ignores the DECCOLM sequence by default and provides a separate control sequence for allowing DECCOLM. I'll implement that for mintty 0.6. Thanks for the report.
