And what, then, is the output of ls -l on the screen-4.2.1 executable?

>> In which order do you invoke them?
> sudo screen

This'd mean that you're effectively logged in as root since you're running 
screen as root and then creating screen windows from within that root 
environment. This probably explains why you aren't having any problems, but 
it's also an extremely risky way to do your day-to-day work.

>then brltty within the screen session.

Which also means that brltty, too, would be running as root for the same raeson 
as above - screen is running as root.

Am I correct that /opt/local/bin isn't in your command search path, or is it?

What's the output from the command: type screen
