The patch in #27713 might work for this (I haven't tried it). I don't believe there is any other way/trick. For nesting screen sessions, I think a better solution is to just use different escape keys. Are there other use-cases where such notification can be useful? (as I have stated before, I am trying to avoid adding kludge to hardstatus/caption unless there's a compelling enough reason to do so).
