Yeah, I'm sure it has more to do with the specifics of a given setup 
(network speed, X connection spefics [xauth method, for example, and 
various ssh options] than anything Myth-related.  I was more about 
making the point that "worksforme" is a more acceptable reason to close 
the ticket than "remote X display is not a supported configuration".  
Maybe someday I'll investigate what makes this situation happen and add 
it to the wiki.
