That's no surprise, I would say: it seems you link against TkAqua (not X11 Tk); for that to work, you need a reference to WindowServer, which won't be available when logged in through SSL.

Actually, I think it literally is a surprise; if it were truly "no surprise", the testing harness would have caught it and moved on to the other tests. But if you mean, "no big deal", I agree.
