You know, I ran a test and find I am having a similar problem when
logging into remote machines and depending on -X to set my DISPLAY.
DISPLAY is not getting set. I tried removing my .bashrc and .profile
files on the remote machine, and I get no DISPLAY set. Weird. I have
solved the problem with xauth, ifconfig, cut, and grep, :-) but it
would be nice if it worked as it is supposed to.

Yes.
I am using the default (bash) on my laptop, even though on flagfish
my default shell is csh.
I have no problems with environment variables in terminal (all are
appropriately set).
Fine.
On the xterm that comes up with X11.app, no environment variables are
set.
As I said last time, this is odd, and you should investigate. But it
may not have anything to do with the failure to forward.
Here are the results of ssh -v. I have high hopes they will help!
...
debug1: channel 0: new [client-session]
debug1: Entering interactive session.
debug1: channel 0: request pty-req
debug1: Requesting X11 forwarding with authentication spoofing.

For what it's worth, I was seeing just this apparently successful
negotiation of forwarding when the /etc/ssh_config on the remote
system was set up not to allow forwarding, and it didn't change when I
corrected the configuration problem and got things working. Even the
highest levels of verbosity (-vvv) didn't show anything amiss. So,
whatever's wrong, I fear the logging information doesn't help.
Neither, in my experience, does Mac OS X's /private/var/log/system.log
on the remote system. Maybe Solaris' log is more helpful, so it's
worth checking.
