If this is with an up to date pristine tree, then please debug it, it's
very bad. I have not seen anything like this on any of the systems that
I use.

Well, but that is not how things work when using emacs normally
(i.e. interactive session without --daemon).
- Errors in .emacs are shown in the *Messages* buffer. That still happens
with --daemon.
- Interactive questions (like a y-or-n-p in .emacs) get asked in the
first emacs frame that appears. I think we agree that something like
this is ill formed for --daemon. It would be nice if it failed more
graciously, but I am not sure it can be easily done within the current
constraints.
BTW, the splash screen covers that *Messages* buffer quite fast, so
errors at startup are not displayed for too long ...
