Seeing this here too; it appears that when auth2.c:userauth_finish is called,
forced_command has been cleared (or perhaps, never set in that forked sshd) so
the call to auth_root_allowed(method) returns 0.  The following patch makes
forced-command logins as root work again, but I doubt this is the right fix.  In
fact the below may have serious problems; no warranties.

Looking at (but not testing) today's snapshot, this appears to still be a
problem.  If so I'm surpised more people haven't run into this...?
