1- Yes Matlab works as expected without going through ssh.

2- Repeat the above but first do a "ssh -X localhost" triggers the problem.

3- Both scenarios hold regardless of how I login ("Ubuntu", "Ubuntu on Xorg" or "Unity").

As you mentionned the DISPLAY variable I checked the following (maybe it was obvious, but not to me):
     - ssh@localhost
     - echo $DISPLAY returns localhost:10.0
     - export DISPLAY=:0
     - matlab & then plot(1,1).
     - it works. (tested in "Ubuntu", "Ubuntu on Xorg" and "Unity")
