What exactly needs to be done here?  If we don't want the additional
files to be buried, that is easy enough to do (one-liner patch below).
But I'm not sure that is the correct thing to do---it could be
construed as interfering with the server's buffer setup.  Note that
C-x # brings up the next client file correctly, even though they are
buried.
