FWIW, I can't produce this with Ubuntu's version of screen 4.0.3jw4 and
vim 7.1. However, after exiting vim, the terminal window is left in a
strange state (CR is no longer echoed locally, at least).

Is it only the screen window that closes, or the whole session? That is,
if you had multiple windows in screen (created via C-a c or similar), do
you then switch to a different screen window, or does the entire session
end and drop you to the parent shell? What happens when you try this
with "zombie qr" in your ~/.screenrc?

Also, what shell are you using, and is it the same in screen as it is
outside of it (do you have "shell" or "screen" commands in your
~/.screenrc)?
