Looks to me like you have two options:
1) Fiddle the 'logfile' screen option on startup - see "logfile" under
"CUSTOMIZATIONS" in the screen manpage.

2) Write a little wrapper script to rename any existing screenlog.*
files so that you get a unique one for each new screen startup. Stick it
in your ~/bin/ and add that at the front of your $PATH.
