It is already irrelevant, but I suggested to carefully *compare* systemd
user session logs for local vs. CIFS directory to see if some units are
missed in the latter case. It is not the same as just success vs.
failure test result.

There are no files created in the ~/.ssh/agent directory with the newer
kernel.
You may disable starting of ssh agent as a part of X11 session. There
are systemd units that may create sockets in /run/user
(XDG_RUNTIME_DIR). However synchronizing of environment of the main
process of X11 session might be necessary.
systemctl --user list-sockets '*ssh*'
(GUI session is not necessary, likely it should be registered e.g. for
ssh logins as well).
Maybe I should report it as a bug?
I am in doubts if failure to start ssh-agent should be a fatal error for
whole session. So I would consider a bug for that script. Perhaps there
are reasonable objections to my point of view.
