Thanks everyone for the patience and the tips. I installed x11-ssh-askpass; ssh-agent found it automatically and everything works as expected. It would be nice to know how it is implemented, i.e. how the askpass dialog knows that user presence is being requested. Ideally I'd rather have notifications like this appear via dunst, i.e. have an SSH_ASKPASS script that detects whether user presence is being detected and in that case use notify-send before falling back to x11-ssh-askpass. I guess I may have to poke at some x11-ssh-askpass and ssh-agent sources some time to see what the interaction looks like under the hood.
