Perhaps you should try running sshd in debug mode on the server?  If you
are uncomfortable taking down the server's main sshd for testing
("sshd -d" processes only one connection at a time), you could also try
running an instance on an alternate port ("sshd -d -p 2222") and have
the problematic clients try to connect to that port
("ssh -p 2222 user@server").
