It "worked for me" since I didn't test with enough command line
arguments to see that the processing of the command line would be
incomplete in 24.3.

It's become clear in the meantime that the bug is indeed that file(s)
given on the command line won't open in 24.3.  You can still work on
them once Emacs has started and complained about the non-writable
~/.emacs.d/, though.

Achim.
