It isn't actually supposed to be setgid on Linux; see ssh-agent.c:

#if defined(HAVE_SYS_PRCTL_H)
#include <sys/prctl.h>	/* For prctl() and PR_SET_DUMPABLE */
#endif
...
#if defined(HAVE_PRCTL) && defined(PR_SET_DUMPABLE)
	/* Disable ptrace on Linux without sgid bit */
	prctl(PR_SET_DUMPABLE, 0);
#endif

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
