Given that it's all on the local host, you could just have tmux
set the SSH agent socket to be a symlink and optionally repoint it
upon new attaches.  Or a similar trick that doesn't require proxying.
Same sort of thing works for forwarded Kerberos creds, just remember
where tmux is looking for them and copy them into place when you
connect.
