Comment (by GunGeekATX):

 Would love to see this as well.  Spent the last couple hours digging
 through core to implement custom screen options for a plugin.  I had to
 bypass {{{add_screen_option()}}} entirely, use the {{{screen_settings}}}
 filter to create the HTML form fields, and use the
 {{{check_admin_referer}}} action to hook into saving the custom form
 fields since.  The first call in {{{set_screen_options()}}} is
 {{{check_admin_referer()}}}, so hooking into the action called at the end
 of that function seemed to be the only way to get access to my fields
 before the redirect happened.
