True, but those options are already deleted from command-line-args when
the user's init file is processed.

That assumption is mistaken, a freshly started Emacs has six buffers:

(buffer-list)
=> (#<buffer *scratch*> #<buffer  *Minibuf-0*> #<buffer *Messages*>
    #<buffer  *Echo Area 0*> #<buffer  *Echo Area 1*>
    #<buffer  *code-conversion-work*>)

So you'd need to test (> (length (buffer-list) 6).
