"Break" in the sense of "be exactly as broken as it already is", sure.

What I'd really prefer is that forwarding proxies (including ssh)
implement support for the extended connection handshake, which allows
the client to ask to be treated as non-local:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/?id=e2c7d70e5ddb8b17676a13ceebfbb87d14d63243

But since ssh is to a first-order approximation the only forwarding X
proxy anybody uses, we might as well special case it here too.
