Can't run emacs (specifically) on X over ssh

I'm having problems running emacs via ssh on FC1.
Running emacs directly works fine, but if I ssh to localhost and try to run
emacs, it just stops and waits (apparently indefinitely) until I kill it.
There are no error messages.
The same thing happens if I ssh to the FC1 box from elsewhere.
Other x clients work fine including, for example: xclock, gedit, and nautilus.
Within the ssh session:
echo $DISPLAY gives me:
localhost:13.0
emacs works fine if I bypass ssh forwarding, such as:
>emacs -display :0.0
or
>emacs -display anothermachine:0.0
but not if I do:
>emacs -display localhost:13.0
Any ideas?
Greg
