It might be a recent change - I've made a to-do item to investigate it.
afaik, it's not supported in "older" versions of FreeBSD.

At the moment for instance, I'm reading the 6.0 source for

	/usr/src/sys/boot/i386/libi386/vidconsole.c

The corresponding screen(4) manpage doesn't mention it.

(pcvt supports it, but that's a different emulator from cons25).
