Christopher: thanks.
Upstream patching isn't really applicable here, because the script in
question is distribution-specific session-setup code.
As for demo code, here's a tidbit to get the ball rolling:
if [ -n "$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR" -a -d "$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR" ]; then
SSHAGENTARGS+="-a $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/ssh-agent.$$"
fi
(added right after the "SSHAGENTARGS=-1" conditional)
A couple advantages of this are
1. Old agent sockets are less likely to stick around, because /run/ is a
tmpfs;
2. Searching for my own ssh-agent socket(s) is easier/safer, because I
don't have to worry about /tmp/ssh-*/ directories that belong to someone
else, or (worse) a hostile attacker.

Title:
Wishlist: $SSH_AUTH_SOCK in $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
Status in “xorg” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
This is a wishlist item for openssh-client 6.0p1-3ubuntu1 in Ubuntu
Quantal.
Now that XDG_RUNTIME_DIR support is available, it would be nice if the
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/90x11-common_ssh-agent X session startup script
would check to see if the variable is set, and if so, pass an argument
to ssh-agent(1) so that the Unix-domain socket is created in
/run/user/$USER/* rather than /tmp/ssh-*/.
