The fix does not seem to work, it just changes the error message to "Cannot open your terminal '' - please check." for me.
The reason seems to be that the patch relies on attach_fd to be set by code that's inside an ifndef NAMEDPIPE block, which isn't being compiled for the ubuntu package.
That ifndef has been removed from upstream code in http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/screen.git/commit/?id=d965ff1d92e2bd57d24b68cfbd6990486024baa3 almost 2 years ago, but that apparently hasn't landed in the ubuntu package yet.
