Sorry Neal, I missed your post. To be honest, I never had to tackle this repair so I wouldn't know. I'm assuming the screw would be a temporary fix for a broken cylinder, but it seems like it would be a nice way to reinforce your new lock cylinder to ensure it doesn't happen in the future.
Most cars have some sort of ignition tamper proof security device, but car theives still manage to find their way around them. As for ours, well, that little hole that he stuck the bobbypin in is pretty much the way to get around our tamper system. However, I still don't know how they do it because the EWS system is a pretty tough system to crack unless you have some expensive tools and good working knowledge of the e36 wiring
