FWIW, I think you nearly had it right in your very first post, just
missed one step:

system-config-firewall
unclick 'ssh'
Apply (this is the added step!)
reclick 'ssh'
Apply

then it works, at least IIRC. I'm pretty sure I run into this on most
every fresh install. It may rather be a bug that the default firewall
configuration does not in fact match what s-c-f thinks it is.
