Do you actually have xauth enabled? (in the security tab of X11

Did you rerun
xauth generate $DISPLAY .

Ok, the symptoms did change after the upgrade. I was not paying
enough attention.
Lets start with the X11 server not running. "xauth list" returns
nothing. If I do:
/usr/bin/ssh -f -Y full.hostname.com xterm
The first time, I get the warning. After the first time, I do not.
If I shut everything back down and I do either "cat $DISPLAY" or
"xauth generate $DISPLAY .", the X11 server starts up. "xauth list"
returns a list of five entries (right now. I think that list might be
just four entries sometimes). And the ssh command (above) works
without a warning.
This all comes back to if X11 is running, I do not get the warning.
So, this is a good improvement.
On a slightly different topic, if I run ssh and get the warning, is it
anything I really need to pay attention to? In other words, if I just
start the X11 server with the first ssh session and get the warning,
is it actually less secure than the other ssh sessions that do not get
the warning?
Thank you again,
