That alos seems to break connecting to another user's shared screen 
session:

user a has in his .screenrc

acladd b

When user b now trys:

screen -x a/

seteuid: Operation not permitted
[...]
seteuid: Operation not permitted
Illegal instruction

So there's more going wrong with this update, careful if you rely on 
this funtionality.
