Yes, 'ssh -X ...' fails in the same way when run on the command line 
inside an xterm.  When the remote session dies, the local xterm (from 
where the ssh command was executed) reports:

xterm:  warning, error event received:
X Error of failed request:  BadAccess (attempt to access private 
resource denied)
  Major opcode of failed request:  104 (X_Bell)
  Serial number of failed request:  195
  Current serial number in output stream:  199

Also, it fails whether I use the 'Delete' key or the 'Backspace' key.
