screen -p "${uid%% *}" -X exec sh -c 'env > /tmp/window_env.txt'
might work, too. screen probably directly calls execv(3) and friends
which doesn't do shell syntax expansion but just passing everything
behind the command as parameters. If you make the command a shell and
pass it shell code as parameter, it gets parsed with shell syntax
again.
