You might get the same result more simply by doing something like

    emacsclient --eval '(progn (ediff-merge-files-with-ancestor ...) (recursive-edit))'

Then emacsclient will only return when you exit the recursive edit
(i.e. when something runs (throw 'exit <value>) which you could add to
ediff's exit hook).
