Yes, that is to be expected. Unfortunatly. 
You have your homedirectory mounted on both machines, 
thus you see a screen sessions running on the other machine.

Screen only works locally to one machine. To access a screen 
session on machine x, you have to ssh to machine x beforehand.

Screen -ls should perhaps better say 'Remote or Dead' instead 
of 'Dead'.

sorry,
