I hit this issue after upgrading a system that used keyscript to Jessie,

That led me to look into adding a password agent for my use case, and/or
creating a generic one that would invoke keyscripts as a workaround...

I'd be OK with this, as discussed at FOSDEM, and I see you already
posted a ptach for this.

Has this been merged?

No, the last word was basically this thread:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-July/021246.html

I don't have the time to implement a "complete" solution...

Is it safe for a password agent to write content with \0 back to the
socket?

Haven't checked but I'd be surprised if that was the case.
