One of two things may be coming into play:

1. In your sshd_config:

     X11UseLocalhost
             Specifies whether sshd should bind the X11 forwarding server to
             the loopback address or to the wildcard address.

Which is defualted to 'yes'

2. In your ssh_config:

     ForwardX11Trusted
             If this option is set to ``yes'' then remote X11 clients will
             have full access to the original X11 display.

Which is defaulted to 'no'.

I suspect the former.. but the latter may soon follow.
