I've solved it by prompt hacking; here's the relevant bits from my
.screenrc at work:
# Magic to make PS1 goodness work
hardstatus off
hardstatus string "%t"
chacl :window: -rwx #?
chacl :window: +x title
#####
# With this setup, you can change the current window's title by
# sending an ANSI escape sequence; this will change the window's
# title and the title will show up in the hardstatus line (i.e. the
# title bar in PuTTY). This sets the title to the current host
# name. The actual prompt is the hostname followed by $ for bash or
# %# for zsh, which is magic that shows either # if you're root or %
# if you're not.
#
# zsh: PS1="$(echo -e '%{\033]83;title '$(uname -n)'\007%}%m%# ')"
#
# bash: PS1="\[\033]83;title $(uname -n)\a\]$(uname -n)\$ "
