A single agent connection is shared for all sessions that use the same
multiplexed connection (this is a limitation of the SSH protocol). I
don't think it is unreasonable to require this be available when the
connection is established. 

BTW, I just committed support for "ssh -O stop ..." to turn off
multiplexing while keeping one's sessions alive. So, if you mess up and
forget to forward your agent when using openssh-5.9 or greater, then
you can try again without killing all your existing sessions.
