this puzzles me. Could you please check that * dpkg -S reports no owner for /var/run/screen and * /var/run/screen is correctly removed upon dpkg -P and reinstated with the correct (group) ownership after dpkg -i? "Freshly stable" means installed Lenny from scratch? That would mean that the directory was created before the screen package was even touched. - I've just verified that debootstrapping a Lenny and chrooting into it to install screen yields the correct ownership.
