Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11

I've Googled this and there are lots of hints, but none of them
seem
to correct the problem.
Any ideas?
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.
The same warning occurs when using the OS X terminal tool so it's
an X11
or ssh problem but not an xterm problem.
Setting XAuthLocation in the ssh_config doesn't help but should.
Indeed the path to xauth is hard coded:
Note that the path to xauth hasn't changed on Leopard (only on Snow
Leopard) but the same xauth complaint happens. (And "xauth list"
shows that the auth cookies do indeed exist.)
