I tried reproducing it with bitbake-setup setting 
poky-master poky-with-sstate distro/poky machine/qemux86-64.
I have used core-image-minimal and just added `IMAGE_INSTALL:append = " screen"` on top. 
This does not show the behavior I am seeing with our scarthgap tree. I have compared the
ncurses recipes and they are almost equal. The screen recipes are also quite similar but the
screen version changed from 4.9.1 to 5.0.1, but the short changelog of the in-between
versions do not show any significant change regarding terminfo or termcap.
