ssh X forwarding not working through NAT

Hello,
Occasionally I need to tunnel X via ssh to remote hosts. I just built a 5.2.1-R system
and noticed that X does not forward from this machine to the outside via our NAT'ing
firewall.
If I connect to a host on the same network with:
ssh -X me at insidehost
and type:
echo $DISPLAY
localhost:11.0
On a machine outside the NAT/firewall that is behind it's own NAT/firewall I get...
DISPLAY: Undefined variable.
Now I know this worked on 4.9-STABLE boxes before. Is there something new in 5.x that
prohibits X11 forwarding? I have no ~/.ssh/config file and my /etc/ssh/ssh_config is
a stock file, untouched by human hands.
All clues and gentle prods are welcome.
