Public bug reported: If a shell is launched through the menu SSH_AUTH_SOCK will have a value of the form /tmp/keyring-xxxxxx/ssh. If a keyboard shortcut is created through System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts and that shortcut is used to launch a shell, then SSH_AUTH_SOCK will have a value of the form /tmp/ssh-xxxxx#####/agent.#####.
All shells in the session should by default be using the same ssh-agent.
