As shown here (I wrote that msg in the forum): http://forum.audioinjector.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2727&e=1&view=unread#p5749

sudo runuser -u pi -- /home/pi/start_jack

And right now everything works, strace gives me:
...
connect(3, {sa_family=AF_UNIX, sun_path="/dev/shm/jack_default_1000_0"}, 110) = 0
...

And jack_lsp works as expected. Contents in /dev/shm:
pi@realtimepi:~ $ ls -al /dev/shm/
total 69804
drwxrwxrwt  2 root root      160 Jan 31 15:24 .
drwxr-xr-x 14 root root     3300 Jan 31 15:19 ..

-rw-rw-rw-  1 pi   pi      70744 Jan 31 15:22 jack-shm-registry

When it is not working, the "jack_default_1000_0" file does not exist anymore, but the jackd server is running.

I'll lookup the screen option, although this feels like more fundametal problem. The files in /dev/shm aren't supposed to vanish during lifetime of jackd process, right ?
