I fixed this by removing my old emacs dock icon, putting a new one back in, and then editing its settings to change "-emacs-real" to "emacs" in the launch commands. So I guess most of the problems above were because of the stale item, and the only remaining issue for new users will be having the launch commands be "-emacs-real" by default. > * The window title is now ".emacs-real@".
