Not under screen it won't.  Screen manages its own scrollback and doesn't
tell the application that anything's scrolled.

Assuming ircII has a similar set to the one found in epic, you might try
messing with the value of /set HIGH_BIT_ESCAPE, I personally need it set to
0 under wterm, but I haven't messed with it since I migrated to
gnome-terminal so you may need a setting of 1 or perhaps a different setting
in ircII all together than what epic uses.

This is exactly what HIGH_BIT_ESCAPE in epic controls.
