A downside with that solution is that if I detach a screen session
and end my SSH session, the next time I reattach, I lose my SSH agent,
and that means having to type SSH passwords repeatedly until I
completely destroy and reconstruct the screen session.

Hey, if it's not particularly frowned upon to override that value (with
the knowledge that you have to be extremely careful in locking your
laptop/desktop), then I'm all for it :-)
