Yes, I start an Emacs session, including (server-start), and then ssh in
to that machine using
$ ssh -CY me@myhost
and enter the emacsclient command. Is there something unconventional
about this? I'm running emacsclient remotely; I thought this was the
main reason emacsclient was created (and I've been using it this way for
two years).

It worked just fine until I started using Fedora on my server, and it
works from other servers: if I log in to a University server from the
same client and issue the same commands, with X forwarding and so on, I
get a new Emacs window on my local display.

Never? As I said, it worked until I switched the OS on my workstation,
and it works on other machines.
Should I try it without X forwarding? I must be as confused as you are
because as I said, this worked until my recent changes. Before I used
Slackware 13.0 with Emacs from CVS (my switch was two months ago).
