Follow-up Comment #1:

It's not a bug in screen.
It's normal behaviour on glibc systems, where it sanitizes environment for
suid applications.
You can check list of sanitized environment variables here:
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=sysdeps/generic/unsecvars.h;h=5ea8a4a259ef753c9d0d30aa4c0788e93656d047;hb=HEAD

I assume that your system has screen installed setuid that's why this variable
is cleared.
screen itself removes only few variables:

all related to its functionality and does copy the rest.
