--- Comment #1 from Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org> ---
This behaviour is intentional as this option accepts arbitrary path
names as argument:

> ForwardAgent
> Specifies whether the connection to the authentication agent (if
> any) will be forwarded to the remote machine. The argument may
> be yes, no (the default), an explicit path to an agent socket or
> the name of an environment variable (beginning with ‘$’) in which
> to find the path.

Though perhaps ssh should warn in cases that the specified agent socket
does not exist

OpenSSH 8.5 will warn in this case:

[djm@tiresias ssh]$ ./ssh/obj/ssh -Snone -oForwardAgent=xxx hades
Cannot forward agent socket path "xxx": No such file or directory

I was sure to read ssh_config(5) but somehow I completely skipped over
this usage. In hindsight the error and the man page make perfect sense.

> OpenSSH 8.5 will warn in this case

Given my situation, of course I agree that it's the right decision to
make it more obvious. Thanks.
