For those who use debian as guest/host or debootstrap to create debians
rootfs,

Some time ago I also noticed the same problem using screen( obviusly no
problems login via ssh), I investigated a bit and:

man 5 securetty

# /etc/securetty: list of terminals on which root is allowed to login.

On debian is missing tty0 on the list, I add it on the host and on the
guest and the login via screen problem got solved.

Ciao
