Unfortunately, I cannot easily simplify the login scripts as a number of modules needs to be loaded. Furthermore, it is not quite clear to me which scripts are actually executed when calling 'ssh somehost "command"'. According to the documentation "command" is executed instead of a login shell. Still, the .bashrc seems to be read.

SSH does not seem to offer any way to issue a command without calling either of these two files. Am I missing something?

Try calling a command with a full path and without special shell characters, I think SSH will then execute that directly. Try tracing execs from sshd on the receiving end?
