$ echo -n "\eP\e]4;1;?\007\e\\" 
works for me.

from the manual: Virtual Terminal->Control Sequences:
     ESC P  (A)     Device Control String
                    Outputs a string directly to the host
                    terminal without interpretation.

and I'm not sure why, but while in xterm this works when ending the string with 
either BEL ( \007 ) *or* ST ( \e\ ), in screen it seems to require both...
