You can add "-e" to force all debug messages to stderr although I don't 
think it will make a difference.

Sounds odd.

The code is in session_x11_req() which is called when the client sends a 
"x11-req" channel request.  Are you sure you client is sending one?

Does the X11 request show up on the client-side debugging?  You said 
that X gets set up, is it possible it's done outside of ssh?

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