I could make the bug vanish by removing screen, purging all configuration files, searching for not removed files, deleting them by hand, removing all statoverrides, then reinstalling screen. Looks a lot like something left over from an older version of screen playing with newer versions breaking them. Since all systems affected had different files to clean up I am not sure which one it was. Starting with user defined configurations and ending at /var/run/screen aka /run/screen (with latest installs).
