I did a little bit more digging this evening and have had some success:

gnucash --display="$DISPLAY"

Behaves as expected and forwards the display to the ssh tunnel, just like
xeyes, xlogo, google-chrome, etc do without needing to specify the display.

I have since noticed that other gnome apps also require me to force the
display with --display="$DISPLAY"

Is there some other environment variable that's causing this?
