Hello Tim, Mosh itself doesn't have anything to do with ssh-agent forwarding. Mosh doesn't maintain an SSH connection and it doesn't forward ssh-agent requests.
If you need this, you'll have to figure out how to keep an SSH connection open to forward the ssh-agent requests from the server to the client. Alternately, there is an experimental branch of Mosh (contributed by Timo Rinne) that adds ssh-agent forwarding that you can try. (For the future, I think we have decided not to go in this direction of adding ssh-agent forwarding and X11 forwarding and SOCKS forwarding to Mosh and just to make a generic "slosh" as a separate program that ferries a reliable stream across a roaming, multihomed connection. Our current plans to do this involve lightweight Linux containers, which are working slickly in testing but would be Linux-only, so not sure what the community reaction will be.)
