Ssh – GNU screen freezes trying to reattach

I have several long-running GNU screen sessions. I ssh to the box they're running on and run screen -d -r foo to detach them if they're connected anywhere else, and then attach them in my current window.

99% of the time this works fine, but on occasion I get this:

$ screen -d -r foo
[2430.foo detached.]

…and nothing happens; I can't get back to the shell at all. Trying in another window does the same thing, the only thing I can do is destroy that screen session (losing all the programs that were running in it) and recreate it

Why does this happen? How can I avoid it or reconnect successfully when it does happen?

Edit: My .screenrc:

startup_message off
defwritelock off
bind q quit
caption always '%{gk}   (%n) %t                   %{y}%d %M %Y :: %c:%s                   %{b}%W%{d}'
screen -t ZSH
autodetach on
shelltitle ZSH
defutf8 on

Edit: The end of an strace log when trying to attach:
