I quoted the wrong paragraph (I used the one for -X).  This is the 
paragraph which was added to the Debian manual page for -Y:

              (Debian-specific: In the default configuration, this option
              is equivalent to -X, since ForwardX11Trusted defaults to
              “yes” as described above.  Set the ForwardX11Trusted option
              to “no” to restore the upstream behaviour.  This may change
              in future depending on client-side improvements.)

Regardless, it seems that OpenIndiana could include the same default 
customization that Debian added.  It seems that this customization was 
added while building OpenSSH rather than by editing a config file.
