The behavior I see is:
1) start screen in xterm #1 then detach
2) try to reattach in xterm #1 fails
3) reattach with xterm #2 works
4) try to reattach in xterm #1 still fails
or in general, the first terminal that tries to reattach to a running
screen session is forever locked out, but all subsequent terminals
will succeed.

I would think that packaging it a with few minor bugs is better than
waiting, ie. more likely to spur/inspire someone with the skills to
look more deeply.
