I encountered this recently as well. Unfortunately, I don't think the
shell is involved at all. I turned on zombie mode then ran:
screen env
The output showed PATH as the system default:
/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
rather than my custom PATH.
Looking at the patches Apple applied [1] to screen, the one that seems
most suspect is that they invoke login when creating a new window.
However, I couldn't duplicate this behavior of the PATH being reset
when invoking login myself, even using the same flags they seem to use.
The good news is that the MacPorts [2] screen port does not have this
problem.
