This bug appears to have drifted well away from the initial report
(which was about GNOME forcing itself as the SSH agent even if one is
already set) - I don't understand how this discussion would be relevant
to the reported issue and I've never seen any acknowledgement that
GNOME sees this as a problem.  You can see in the bug log that at one
point the discussion switches from discussions of gpg-agent providing
SSH_AUTH_SOCK to discussions of interactions between gpg and gpg-agent
which is a separate issue.
