Good question James.  I've run into the same problem a couple of times.
I've found two things that can help to get around the problem.

The first is to redirect input from dev null.  so, your command becomes:

ssh -f remote /usr/local/mynewcommand.sh <0 /dev/null

The other is to batch the commands on the other end.  That is done inside the the mynewcommand.sh script.
'atd' needs to be running for batch to work.

$ batch <<EOF
cmd1
cmd2
cmd2
EOF

Batch launches a background job to run the commands, and immediately returns.

I've also run into occations where neither of these solutions work, and haven't figured that one out yet.
