I'm having the exact same problem after upgrading to Karmic. I've used
Ubuntu since Feisty and this is the first time I ever experienced
problems with X forwarding on SSH. It worked fine on Jaunty. Basically
I'm experiencing the same issues as reported:
$ env | grep DISPLAY
$ echo $DISPLAY
$
Forgot to mention the loopback address is properly configured on my box:
$ ifconfig lo
loLink encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1
RX packets:139234 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
Yes, I'm using Putty from a Windows box and the same happens on the Terminal
app on Mac OS X.
The version of Putty I'm using is 0.60. In regards to SSH on my Karmic box:
$ dpkg -l |grep openssh
ii openssh-client 1:5.1p1-6ubuntu2
It worked!! Many thanks!

I upgraded to Lucid last weekend and now X Forwarding is not working
again:
$ echo $DISPLAY
$ cat /etc/default/ssh |grep OPTS
SSHD_OPTS=-4
$ cat /etc/ssh/sshd_config |grep Forward
X11Forwarding yes
Any ideas?

I can confirm adding AddressFamily inet to sshd_config fixed the
problem for me after a SSH restart:
$ echo $DISPLAY
localhost:10.0
