Now I'm completely confused: didn't you say that "C-x C-c" should
_not_ exit Emacs in this case?

Why does it make sense to have "-c -n" behave differently from "-t -n"?
Isn't this terribly confusing for users?  AFAIU, these two are variants
are otherwise very similar to each other: they both reuse the current
frame on the same terminal where the server is running.
