In the ssh case, as far as the X server is concerned, this is a local connection from the sshd process. Though _NET_WM_PID seems to be set to the remote PID and WM_CLIENT_MACHINE to the remote connection (tested with xterm).

_NET_WM_PID is set by the application: right, that does make more sense! But it's not the X11 protocol, it's the relatively recent FreeDesktop specification.
