Although this won't solve your control sequences, what I have done is inside my .profile file is put a line that says: export SCREENDIR=~/screentmp and then make a ~/screentmp directory. At least you won't loose your socket this way. This works for me on a AIX 5.3 TL8 machine that I have access to.
