I'm not sure how this could work as moisture which condenses on the cell faces must arrive in vapour form, I can't see that a scrim would stop it. Does the scrim affect the WOB? (Just cos I can't see how it would work doesn't mean I won't try it!)
Personally, I didn't notice any increase in WOB. I did notice less moisture, although there is still some. However I put them scrim in relatively early in my Rebreather career (around 25 hours) so I don't have that good a baseline.
As to the mechanism, I think the scrims will stop water vapour, (ie small droplets) but not gaseous water. The vapour phase will definitely be present if water is condensing.
