My first guess is that the exmh-bg is managing to get launched/run with a
different value for $HOME, or the 3 uses of ~ to expand to home directory
are giving it indigestion?

My second guess is that the $HOME *is* working, and it's finding a .Xauthority
file that's lacking a proper cookie for the real display, and thus isn't
able to use the Tk/Tcl 'send' command...

Most likely the second.  To fix, you should be able to just:

setenv XAUTHORITY /home/oberman/.Xauthority   (or wherever it actually is on your box)
