Yes, this is probably the reason. I would guess that you see the same
behavior if you are directly sshed into a server not going through
screen. My guess is that since screen isn't running directly on the
host creating the output, it cannot reflow correctly since that output
has already been printed out.
You can see this on a raw ssh session (no screen) if you run "ls -l"
on a really small window (40 chars wide) and then resize it. The 'ls'
output will not automatically rewrap itself. If you then try the same
experiment when running screen, after you resize the output will
rewrap correctly.
