Check the environment(s) in each case, like:
set | less
and compare them.

Here, on various different installations, I can
see a lot of differences.
Each of ssh/screen/byobu modifies and 'filters'
environment settings in their own way.

You might find something modified in the environment
settings that is causing the problems.

Also take note about file ownership(s) not being what
you might expect in some uses of byobu that is mentioned
in their documentation.
