Actually, according to OpenBSD's printenv(1) man page, it first appeared
in 2BSD. The man page on OS X claims it was BSD 3.0. However, it doesn't
appear to be part of any standard.

Your suggestion ran into the same issue as the original test, but
escaping the evaluation by the user's shell appears to work:

'test -z `sh -c "echo \$SSH_USER_AUTH"`' || fail "SSH_USER_AUTH present"
