This seems a bit weird indeed:

>>> bpy.data.screens.items()

[('Default', bpy.data.screens['Animation']), ('Default', bpy.data.screens['Compositing']), ('Default', bpy.data.screens['Layout']), ('Default', bpy.data.screens['Modeling']), ('Default', bpy.data.screens['Rendering']), ('Default', bpy.data.screens['Scripting']), ('Default', bpy.data.screens['Sculpting']), ('Default', bpy.data.screens['Shading']), ('Default', bpy.data.screens['Texture Paint']), ('Default.001', bpy.data.screens['Default.006']), ('Default.001', bpy.data.screens['Default.007']), ('Default.001', bpy.data.screens['Default.008']), ('Default.001', bpy.data.screens['Default.016']), ('Default.001', bpy.data.screens['Default.020']), ('Default', bpy.data.screens['UV Editing'])]

Note that screens internally are layouts for workspaces, the internal names aren't displayed - so they can be different.

I believe this was caused by a cleanup commit, if we can't fix it quickly better just revert that.

This only worked because of 4669c3692c which needed to be reverted.

@ZedDB pointed out a related bug caused by screens using Screen.layout_name not ID.name for the struct identifier.

This can be made into a separate report. closing.
