Well, bash isn't a terminal emulator, so it doesn't process ANSI
escapes at all.  xterm on my system eats unknown escapes:

$ printf "\033AnSiT\n"
nSiT
$ xterm -v
XFree86 4.2.99.903(174)
$

I'm not sure how you are seeing this in any case.  If you're running
screen, then emacs, then starting term-mode, screen shouldn't ever see
those escapes.  Same for running emacs in an xterm.  Are you running
emacs, starting term-mode, then running screen inside that, then
opening up multiple windows?
