In these cases, SSH_AUTH_SOCK is not set and 1Password is not used as the SSH Agent.
The ideal solution would be if OpenSSH had a way to configure multiple SSH Agents to use in priority order, but I'm not aware such a thing exists.
For the basic case of SSH Agent forwarding as asked by the OP, the solution I proposed works well for me.
