This problem turns out to be solvable with stty:

    stty -ixon

To be extra safe, I (un)set -ixoff, too.

Apparently (I'm slightly guessing), emacs tries to set this itself,
but screen is intervening at some level.  

Apparently it's also helpful to change the line speed from 9600
(default) to 115200 using stty.

The backspace key problem is also related to screen's presence, but I
haven't figured out what to do about it.  I think Bill even said it,
but I perhaps didn't do what he said exactly.

Happily, backspace seems to be the sole remaining anomaly for me.

Thanks for all your help on this so far, all who have offered help.
