This is not an issue with konsole or a specific bug; I just couldn't find an informational category to place it in. I know that a lot of people have been wondering about this when trying to use screen + konsole - and bugs.kde.org is also the first place I went to when experiencing the same problem - only to find no related bugs.

The issue is related to konsole scrollback not saving history and screen's alternate screen. I had found this post from Adam Lazur on the screen list
and I believe it will be useful to others:

I suspect what you're describing is an effect of alternate screen [1] 
 support in the terminal emulator that you are running screen [2] within 
 (xterm, konsole, something-else-that-isnt-xterm-but-sets-TERM=xterm ?). 
 
 Try adding the following to your screenrc: 
 
 # Do not use xterms alternate window buffer (add lines to scrollback bfr) 
 termcapinfo xterm|xterms|xs ti=\E7\E[?47l

 [1] overloading of the word screen makes this confusing, this usage does not mean screen the program 
 [2] screen the progam
