That's because screen has mapped the key over in the top right of your
keyboard differently than you expect. You might try "stty -a" to see
what erase thinks it is and then type "echo" and space and ctrl-v and
backspace and hit return and see what it is -- probably ^? ('delete',
IIRC) instead of ^H ('backspace') is my guess. Of course, I'd also guess
that Thomas Dickey will have the most complete answer on the matter, but
this paltry attempt might be enough for you.
