Okay, so it seems that vim needs TERM=screen-bce and not TERM=screen-256color for the background color to work.

I'll switch byobu to export TERM=screen-bce for now, but I don't yet know what implications there might be. If regressions happen, I'll have to roll this back.

Note that you can set this manually in your ~/.vimrc with:
set term=screen-bce
or
set term=xterm-color
