This is a long-standing problem with OpenSSH. In fact, it's even earned a
FAQ on their web site. See <http://www.openssh.com/faq.html#3.10>. Not that
there's a solution there -- to my knowledge, there just isn't one. (Well,
there's a few suggested patches, but they haven't undergone review.)
It's worth noting -- and knowing this makes their faq response make sense --
that bash, by default, *doesn't* send a HUP on exit. This means two things
for you: first, there's really no need to use the nohup command, and second,
the "workaround" they present is no workaround at all. The real workaround
is the one you've been using -- kill the ssh process externally.
Sorry this isn't really a helpful answer. But at least you'll know you're
not alone.
