This suggested change causes Emacs to create a new frame displaying some
random buffer.  If server.el subsequently uses switch-to-buffer or something
like that, it's probably OK, but if it instead uses something like
pop-to-buffer because you want to display emacsclient buffers in their own
window or frame, then you end up with 2 windows (or frames) one of which
displays some random buffer.
