I had been experiencing similar issues with less at one point. It turned out to be an interoperation between a defect in less and a defect in screen. We have a fix for that one upstream; it's possible that emacs could have a similar issue: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=screen.git;a=commitdiff;h=92e8f8edd9db601a0a59e94708c07004e459cc57
There is also a related patch from before that, but it's less likely to me that this would be the source of your issue: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=screen.git;a=commitdiff;h=e783fe70beb9b26403ac7d36498dfa89fee613f6 -- HTH, Micah J.
