Well, the only way you could prevent this, if i'm thinking right, would
be for screen/byobu to bump the mount count. Screen does appear to
support pam, so you could have perhaps

/etc/pam.d/screen:
session optional pam_ecryptfs.so inc_only

where inc_only would just bump the mount count on $HOME if that is
already mounted.
