Same here.

Xquartz doesn't seem to have noticed this. It creates a file 
/etc/sshd_config containing the 2 lines

# XAuthLocation added by XQuartz (http://xquartz.macosforge.org)
XAuthLocation /opt/X11/bin/xauth

This file is no longer used, so the XAuthLocation line is forgotten.
Add it to /etc/ssh/sshd_config, and X11 forwarding will work (it did for 
me, anyway).

Adding it to sshd_config worked for me, without the Host * line though, 
which seems to be a ssh_config thing.
