Remote "screen -r" resets encoding

Description
Distribution/Version: Ubuntu Hoary, Fedora Core 3
Re-attaching to a 'screen' session over ssh changes the encoding back to UTF-8. This might be the correct behavior and NOTABUG - maybe screen sends a certain reset code. It is, however, quite confusing.
This happens every time when connecting to a specific machine running screen 4.00.02, but not on another machine running the same version.
- Open gnome-terminal
- Choose a different encoding than the default (UTF-8), eg. ISO-8859-15
- ssh some-remote-host
- screen -r
Now, gnome-terminal has changed the encoding setting back to UTF-8 with no apparent reason.
Version: 2.10.x
Resolution: RESOLVED INVALID
