Pure guess: ssh has the path /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth built in.
The new X runs out of /opt (yes?).  Is there some interaction
between the xauth in /usr/X11R6/bin and the new version of X?

Try this to find out:

   ssh -X -o XAuthLocation /path/to/new/xauth hostfilename

and see if the error goes away.
