Starting recently, if OSX (NS) Emacs isn't running, "open -a emacs ."
starts up emacs, but doesn't open the current directory. If emacs is
already running, it opens a dired on the current directory.
Prior to "recently", it didn't matter whether Emacs was running or
not -- the current directory was opened.
This also breaks dragging a folder or file onto the icon, if Emacs isn't
yet running. Again, if emacs is already running, the old behavior is
good.
Other than telling me "never quit emacs" :), was this an intentional
change (and if so, why), or is it a bug that someone can look at?

Please file a bug report. This was probably introduced when fixing bug 12010 (http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=12010).

Breaks how? Doesn't Emacs open the foleder/file?

No.
If emacs is not running, activating it via either icon or "open -a
emacs" launches to the scratch buffer, ignoring any parameter or dropped
file/folder.
If emacs *is* running, it works as before, opening the requested item.
So somewhere in the new launching sequence, emacs is ignoring its
parameter.
