That's not what I see with latest emacs-24 branch
(x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu):

1. emacs -Q -nw -f server-start
2. [in another xterm]   emacsclient -c -n foo.txt
3. [in the new X frame] C-x C-c

  => frame is deleted, but Emacs session is still alive

I do see a discrepancy with "emacsclient -t -n foo.txt"; in that
(slightly ill-defined) case, the -n negates the -t causing the edits to
be made in the existing Emacs terminal frame.  But that doesn't seem to
be what you're referring to.
