I encountered this recently as well. Unfortunately, I don't think the shell is involved at all. I turned on zombie mode then ran: screen env The output showed PATH as the system default: /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin rather than my custom PATH. Looking at the patches Apple applied [1] to screen, the one that seems most suspect is that they invoke login when creating a new window. However, I couldn't duplicate this behavior of the PATH being reset when invoking login myself, even using the same flags they seem to use. The good news is that the MacPorts [2] screen port does not have this problem.
