This is probably because screen must be run while connected to a tty (or
pseudo-tty) on the host machine, and if you supply a command argument to
ssh, it will not ask sshd to allocate a tty by default.  You can use the
-t flag to override this behavior.

This would make the command:

  while ! ssh -t user at host -o 'ServerAliveInterval 5' screen -d -RR;
  do true; done

Hope this helps,
