Took another look: it's just a warning (and thus will be suppressed with "ssh
-q" or "LogLevel QUIET" in a config file). From the code in question (ssh.c):
/*
* If we didn't get authentication data, just make up some
* data. The forwarding code will check the validity of the
* response anyway, and substitute this data. The X11
* server, however, will ignore this fake data and use
* whatever authentication mechanisms it was using otherwise
* for the local connection.
*/
So, yes, it's probably due to your .Xauthority not being readable but it's not
anything to worry about (and there's nothing much that ssh could do about it
anyway...)
