I tried it and got your same results ?  Weird.

btw .... a slight mod to "name the screen" as per the current working 
directory at the time of screen invocation.

# alias ns9='if [ -f screenlog.0 ];then rm screenlog.0;fi &&
(/usr/bin/screen -S $(basename $(pwd)) -L -d -m time 
/usr/local/bin/program.sh; tail -99f
screenlog.0) && mv screenlog.0 my-test-screenlog.out'

I also have a nice alias to check running screen jobs, you might like 
that too:


alias sl='/usr/bin/screen -list;for x in ```cd 
/var/run/screen/S-root/;/bin/ls```;do echo;echo sr $x;```echo 
$x|/usr/bin/awk -F . '\''{print "/usr/bin/pstree 
-aG",$1}'\''```;done;echo;/usr/bin/w'


 -- it's a bit messier, but it works for me.

Cheers
