    That fact that the Emacs server does not yet have an X11 connection open
    is not taken into account to decide what to: if the client does not
    explicitly ask for a tty, then the default is to use an X11 frame.

That might not be the right thing to do.  It seems to me that the most
convenient behavior for emacsclient is to use (by default) the tty or
display that Emacs is already using.  It would do that unless you
specify -display or -nw or -t.

Doesn't that seem right to you?
