I have a PAM module which I use with /etc/pam.d/sshd. I do a
pam_set_data() in the auth stack and do a pam_get_data() in the
open_session call. But pam_get_data() returns "No module specific data
is present". The same module when used with say, /etc/pam.d/login
works fine. I checked that the pamhandle is the same. So, ideally it
should contain the data.

Is this problem specific to sshd or PAM?

A bit of both. PAM's API forces sshd to do contortions to support the keyboard-interactive auth type, and this is part of the fallout. See:

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
