I've fixed a couple of bugs in Dropbear's port-forwarding since version 0.41, you might be hitting one of them. Version 0.43 might be worth trying? (I think K.P. has put a package at http://leaf.sourceforge.net/mod.php?mod=userpage&menu=91017&page_id=51 ). Let me know how it goes, if that doesn't help, we can go bug-hunting.
