Black appears to be screened?

ColorMonkey, what you imply is to map the PDF's colors 1:1 into the device's imaging model. This is the only way your 100% areas (both vector & contone) be prevented to break into screened fields. Now this is a though thing to do, because it's only possible:

- if the colorants of the device are very closely matching the primary colors of the simulated color space (=SWOP?),

- you need to employ a device link conversion engine to achieve a pleasing result (so not converting the color numbers to Lab enroute).

- you need to completely switch off the DFE of the system, using your printer like a 'dumb' engine.

Very critical stuff to do nowadays. Basically this was the way things worked in the 1990s when Scitex Iris was the king (in proofing). It had a sort of setup like I described, achieving exceptional results. They went on the software developments and this product is known today as GMG ColorProof.
