As a general rule of thumb, I think they can repair a puncture as long as it is more than an 1" from the edge of the tread are of the tyre, this obviously depends on tread pattern and profile of the trye, looking at your picture the screw is far enough away from the radius part of the tread so should be ok, ie they can fit an internal patch without it having to follow the curve of the tyre as it blends into the side wall. Runflats have thicker side walls so obviously this gives slightly less repairable area.
