	emacsclient -c no longer works when emacs was started with --daemon

With Emacs from BZR as of today, emacsclient -c doesn't work any more if
emacs was started as a daemon from the Linux console.

To reproduce:

On Linux console (or in a terminal with unset DISPLAY variable):

   $ emacs -Q --daemon

In X session:

   $ emacsclient -c
   Waiting for Emacs...
   *ERROR*: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil

With Emacs 24.2 everything works as expected.
