Hmm.

Those options are supposedly "useful multiuser sessions only" [sic]  
to change "the default command characters of users that will be added
later."

You should be using
	escape ^Qq
	flow off

I have no idea why running mutt, less, etc. would make any difference,
unless maybe they're aliases that use screen to create new windows.
