Sounds like a potential dup of bug 140924 (hint does adding -Y to ssh help?)
Sorry that should have been bug 138617

I was seeing this exact problem on Mac OS X version 10.4 (Tiger) but not on 10.3.9 (Panther). Adding the -Y parameter to ssh does seem to fix the problem for me - although I got this warning: Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.
