Comment:

 The screen options tab is actually not hidden because of that mentioned
 additional check.

 It is hidden, because you are not using any meta boxes on your page.

 If you use {{{add_meta_box(...)}}} (before the show callback for your
 submenu/menu page is executed, thus e.g. in load-$page_hook), you will see
 that the screen options tab is there.

 Also, please describe what you are actually trying to achieve with that
 filter. If you just want to change the name of the current screen, you can
 also use {{{set_current_screen()}}} for that.

 Pending reporter-feedback, tempted to close as worksforme.
