Yes, I think so.

No. In fact I did all tests with -q --no-site-file, and then without
them but without HKLM\SOFTWARE\Gnu\Emacs entries, .emacs nor
site-lisp.el files.

Debugging the issue I saw that in the call to sort_args (in emacs.c),
near the end, the arg is consumed till the following line is executed:

  bcopy (new, argv, sizeof (char *) * argc);

And then it "reappears". But I'm not sure how to debug that.
