I now have the following:

precmd()
{
  psvar[1]=$#jobstates;
  if [[ $psvar[1] -eq 0 ]] then
    psvar[1]=()
  elif [[ $psvar[1] -eq 1 ]] then
    psvar[1]="$psvar[1] job"
  else
    psvar[1]="$psvar[1] jobs"
  fi
  # Note: STY is set by screen
  if [[ $TERM == (xterm*|dtterm|rxvt) && -z $STY ]] then
    print -nP "\e]1;%m:%.\x07"
    print -nP "\e]2;%(1v. [%1v] .)${WINTITLE:+ [$WINTITLE]} %n@%m - %~ \x07"
  fi
}

TRAPCLD() { precmd }
