Mostly that it doesn't work when doing slightly unusual, but sensible things: say I start an emacs on display alice:0 as user matthew@bob; later I log into bob from display charlie with X forwarding enabled, and want to connect using emacsclient to the emacs I started on display alice:0; this Just Doesn't Work(TM). Also, if I start an emacs on tty1 (for example), and then want an emacsclient window on my X session on the same display, that doesn't work either.
