Well, ESCAPED is computed by solving the points-to graph ... also "transitive closing" over the CFG isn't easily possible without doing a full points-to graph solving. I think more flow-sensitivity asks for a entirely different algorithm (or - just a weird quick idea - marking constraints with a "flow" version, and during solving only consider "older" edges/constraints and only when that converged bump the "age" of the solving process. that's probably equivalent to incrementally building / solving the points-to graph for all SESE regions in a dominator order)
