well, if screen-4.0.1 works well with bash - then use bash.
this does not seem to be a screen problem, does it?  now,
there's a zsh mailing list, too, how about asking them?
perhaps this "fgtty" is a known issue?  check their archive!

and if you do ask them then don't forget to add the
version of your zsh and some info on its compilation. ;-)
you would might have to describe it as
"a problem with zsh *within* screen", too, right?
