Yes, I haven't yet marked 1548 as fixed, because I came across this, but
this one seems to exist on GNU/Linux too so I was going to open a
separate bug report about it before closing 1548.
What seems to be happening is that an error is thrown during frame
creation ("No fonts match `nonexistent'" - the same error that Emacs
22.3 produces), but the top-level lisp loop catches this error and
continues executing the main lisp loop without ever having created a frame.
My guess was either the multi-tty or daemon changes had introduced this,
your investigations seem to point to the latter.

Do we have a global flag to indicate that Emacs was started in daemon
mode that we could use here? How do we decide whether to exit when the
last frame is closed for example?
