Thanks. This is indeed not the expected setting.

Hrm, but 4.3.1-2build1 in 16.04 should also already have generated
/etc/tmpfiles.d/screen-cleanup.conf during postinst. (That was fixed
in the same upload as #1462692.)

And 16.04 already had systemd as default if not only init system.

Please also check the existence and contents of
/etc/tmpfiles.d/screen-cleanup.conf before and after upgrading.
