There was a change in X forwarding in 3.8 to allow (and default to)
using an untrusted X cookie. That said, just starting new clients should
definitely work, and seems to work for me.

You can set 'ForwardX11Trusted yes' (or use the -Y option) as a
workaround.

Could I see the complete output from running 'ssh -vvv -X <host>' and
then trying to start an xterm?

Thanks,
