Yep. That was the problem, all right. I feel silly for not catching that myself. :-)

When you tunnel VNC over SSH, the connection to the VNC Server comes from the local sshd. In hosts.allow, enable access from 127.0.0.1 or localhost to the VNC Server port. I do not know the hosts.allow syntax, I would start with "ALL:127.0.0.1" to see if I am right.
