Sorry for the delay.  I've just checked in a fix into CVS, and the fix
will appear in Emacs 23.

[Message part 4 (text/plain, inline)]
Package: emacs
Version: 22.2, 22.2.50, 23.0.60

I received the attached message via the Debian bug tracking system.  The
described problem is reproducible in both EMACS_22_BASE and the trunk.

The situation (Emacs does not go to the requested line number) seems to
occur whenever the file given as argument to emacsclient is already in a
buffer that is displayed but not selected.


[Message part 5 (message/rfc822, inline)]
From: ziegler <at> uni-freiburg.de
To: Debian Bug Tracking System <submit <at> bugs.debian.org>
Subject: Bug#476931: emacs22: emacsclient may ignore line-number if called
 from shell-buffer
Date: Sun, 20 Apr 2008 11:25:19 +0200
Package: emacs22
Version: 22.2+1-1
Severity: normal

emacsclient does not work properly in the following
situation:

*The emacsclient-server is running ("M-x server-start").
*The window is split: The upper window displays the
 file "testfile", the lower window contains a shell-buffer,
 created by "M-x shell".
*call "emacsclient -n +17 testfile" in shell-buffer

Then the upper window becomes active, but the point does
NOT move to line 17, as it should. 

The same happens in the tex-shell, where the right behaviour
is very helpful. The bug existed already (for the first time (??))
in 22.1+1-3.
