When going through a "minimalist" phase a year ago, I too used emacs -nw
in screen and/or tmux.
It's all down to termcaps and TERM setting and how emacs uses them.
I can only say : impossibly complicated and oodles of hackish
workarounds exists that require a lifetime of study to even begin to
understand.
I went back to emacs on X and haven't looked back ;)
On a more serious note, I sometimes uses emacs -nw still over ssh in a
screen but frequently key combos fail - most noticeably any Fn keys and
arrow keys,
