He said he started "emacs --daemon" outside of X windows, so DISPLAY is
not set.

Where did it do it?

To a large extent x-display-name should disappear, replaced by explicit
parameters, since it doesn't make much sense in a multi-display context.
So this part of the code is pretty ugly.  Your patch is probably OK in
the sense that it doesn't seem to make things significantly worse.
