The test case here is:
emacsclient --eval '(progn (find-file "some_file.txt") (goto-line 1)
(back-to-indentation) (recenter) "")' --no-wait
--alternate-editor="emacs --eval"
So the alternate editor is Emacs itself.
Hm. I guess just reverting the change in question would fix this
regressions, but this is a rather strange use case. What's the point of
specifying Emacs as the alternate editor?
