The fundamental problem is that $DISPLAY and the cookie in .Xauthority 
don't match, right?

Also, while your patch works for your typical case, does X11 work if you 
ssh from the inside to the bastion host?  (You'll get your internal 
address in $DISPLAY but FQDN in .Xauthority, right?  Xlib might fudge it 
to work, though.)
