What's on the network between client and server?  Some network devices 
(eg certain firmware revs of Linksys routers) have been reported to 
cause this.

The possible causes we know about are documented here:
http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=510
http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=845

Failing that, I would try compiling everything (zlib, openssl and 
openssh) without any optimization and seeing if that makes a difference.

Maybe the different DH parameters negotiated in the DH GEX has some 
effect?  Try removing the moduli file on the server and it will fall 
back to group1 or group14.

     Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
