Terminal text remains bold after exiting vim

When using vim/vividchalk, my terminal often retains bold markup on text after exiting vim. Running a reset, or any other command which clears related buffers, restores the terminal to normal.
I'm going to guess this is a termcap issue. Vividchalk certainly doesn't have any say in what codes get output when.
That would make some sense, as this happens on two different machines but the behavior is slightly different.
This is definitely an issue related to termcap and screen. That said, if you had any tips on what I may try tweaking, they'd be appreciated - I've tried a few different methods and while I've managed to produce some changes, I've not gotten what I thought would be a fairly simple thing addressed. Regardless, thanks for all your contributions, @tpope.
Common culprit is anytime you fiddle with $TERM. Too often I've found people who do export TERM=... in their .bash_profile or whatever and obliviously break everything.
No modifications to TERM here, but screen seems to set TERMCAP. Oddly enough, this doesn't happen with colorscheme delek (old colorscheme of choice), but it doesn't really use bolding at all. Outside of screen, all seems well, though.
