Disabled feature?  I don't know much about screen (never used it myself)
but looking at the man page I find:

    shell command

     Set  the  command to be used to create a new shell.  This overrides the
     value of the environment variable $SHELL.  This is useful if you’d like
     to  run a tty-enhancer which is expecting to execute the program speci-
     fied in $SHELL. If the command begins with a ’-’ character,  the  shell
     will be started as a login-shell.


Then on my Fedora Core system '/etc/screenrc' contains:

# make the shell in every window a login shell
#shell -$SHELL

So maybe look in '/etc/screenrc' and see if there's a similar setting there
that you can enable?  Otherwise, just add it to your '~/.screenrc'.
