Comment(by arena):

 @dd32 sequence code has changed from 2.9 to 3.0

 if ( is_string($screen) ) always return false for admin plugin pages ...

 so no chance to go to convert_to_screen($screen); where filter
 ’screen_meta_screen’ applies to set the value of variable $screen.

 @TobiasBg

 set_current_screen ends 'current_screen' filter is a wrong options as
 'current_screen' requires an object to be returned ...

 @all,

 Good patch is in in wp-admin/includes/template.php,

 for function screen_meta

         $screen = apply_filters('screen_meta_screen', $screen);
         if ( is_string($screen) )
                 $screen = convert_to_screen($screen);

 for function convert_to_screen

         //$screen = apply_filters('screen_meta_screen', $screen);
